Description Jerry McBride 2014-11-11 23:46:27 UTC 
It would be nice to ahve a new key word added to the emerge program. 

I propose a "--show uses".

When invoked It would pause during the emerge process and display the proposed uses of the pending emerge. 

It'd give a Gentooer a chance to double think what's about to happen, before it does.



Reproducible: Always

this is called --ask --verbose.

this is, incidentally, covered in the handbook.
