An new option that complements --fetchonly:
--fetchfirst (-F)
      First perform fetches for all packages (as well as all dependencies)
      before starting to do any package building.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect to the internet temporarily
2. do an emerge --fetchonly world ; emerge world
3. find out that --fetchfirst would be great!
