Magnificent idea!

I had trouble putting it to use, so here is a complete sample for those
who had trouble like me:

MAGIC="some_random_data,_possibly_without_funny_symbols_to_break_it"
FETCHCOMMAND="echo \"${MAGIC} \${URI}\"" emerge -f kde 2>/dev/null | grep 
"^${MAGIC}" | awk '{print $2}'

Setting MAGIC="wget -c" actually even lets you pass the above to the
shell interpreter:

$ FETCHCOMMAND="echo \"${MAGIC} \${URI}\"" emerge -f kde 2>/dev/null | grep 
"^${MAGIC}" > tofetch
$ sh tofetch
