Description Charles Lowell 2003-03-08 09:32:23 UTC

A good explanation is made so much better with a concrete example. It would
really help out new and prospective users wondering "what is this USE thing?" to
see a real place in the system where one of these flags is referenced, and a
decision made on its value.
