The problem that I see with native_built_with_use is that the package manager will then need to precisely implement the build_with_use interface along with any and all supported options (and this interface would effectively become part of the EAPI). If the package manager exposes a slightly lower level interface to the USE flags then build_with_use can use that instead, and the package manager won't have to implement the full build_with_use interface. For example, portageq currently supports a "metadata" command that can be used to query installed package metadata such as USE and IUSE. Perhaps we should use some type of interface similar to that.
