Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2016-09-01 23:59:48 UTC 
https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/users-and-groups/ says:

"To add a user, use the enewuser function:
enewuser <user> [uid] [shell] [homedir] [groups] [params]
...
Finally, any data left over for the params argument is passed directly to useradd."


'params' arguments are not supported since:
  CVS revision 1.9 of user.eclass
  2011-11-03 15:29:39 UTC
  "clean up enew{user,group} and drop the [extra] argument as no one is using it"
