This is new in 1.7. This API is different from commons-collections apparently. We should provide an ebuild for it or at least build this API with an use flag (I would suggest/prefer the USE flag way). Reproducible: Always

I think you needed this for some package. Please file a bug about that blocking this. We try to avoid adding new libraries until there is something using them.
