I knew from reading portage-dev ml

Actually, I am hoping that the introduction of the feature
be taken as an opportunity to document USE_EXPAND better as a whole
on some prominent places where USE-flags are introduced,
explaining that these are internally really just USE-flags with
special names (example) and that the whole syntax with variables
(and the new one in package.use) are just convenience shortcuts
for global/local settings. It would also not hurt to refer to desc/
Probably some native speaker can formulate this much better.
