Indeed. Only I'm always opening the two files in my favorite editor
(mcedit) rather than running them thru a pager. Or, if I'm searching for
a specific flag, as I often do after finding a new one on an emerge -av,
I'll simply grep for it. Tab completion helps, too, so I don't have to
remember the specific path and names, only have a general idea.
I expect that's where ufed gets its descriptions anyway.
