This actually allows users to virtually extend an eselect module without needing to fork it. The things people can do are endless. Even now I just thought about using it to auto update Ruby shebangs in $HOME/bin in a manner that stubs are consistent with existing user gems for the newly selected version. I wouldn't need to wait for Gentoo Ruby to change anything. If there was, it would have been suggested previously since eselect was > created in 2005.
