Not long. It seems like a reasonably useful feature, so I'll go ahead and try to get it done sometime during the next few days. Then I'll be able to include it in the portage-2.1.7 branch which I plan to create soon. You can track progress on this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262038 -- Thanks, Zac
