I wonder if we could not simply use IUSE="test" for this purpose? That
is, allow declaring the 'test' use flag, even though it is not used in a
USE conditional, to indicate that the package has a test suite.
With that said, I don't have any strong objections against this
proposal. But I'd like to mention that with RESTRICT="test", IUSE="test"
and then TEST_SUITE_PRESENT="true", we end up with an awful lot of test
related metadata and complexity, which potentially contributes to confusion.
