Note that some FEATURES may in fact trigger various portage bashrc
customizations. While Ed Catmur disappeared some time ago now, I still
use some of his bashrc customizations, including FEATURES=patchtree, for
instance. There were others, but many of them were more dev focused than
I as a user am, so it's likely that various devs still use a possibly
further customized version of the same scripts, today.
The point being, due to customization it's not reasonable to expect a
full mapping, FEATURES or other variable, tho at least some of the above
would appear to be legitimate mainline portage if perhaps not yet well
documented FEATURES.
