Is is safe to assume that an unknown EAPI will provide a "die"
function?
If we get all Ciaran-ey about that, then we can't even assume the
existence of a case statement in some future version of bash (which is
required by some EAPI)
I think in these cases we just have to use common sense. If a function
is deprecated or "known to be 'on the way out'" then using them would
obviously be a bad idea. On the other hand even if they are used,
surely someone would test an ebuild and discover this case pretty quickly.
