Would it make sense in that case to make depends_foo do depends_foo- append, by default (and add depends_foo-reset for variants that mightneed to supersede *all* dependencies instead of removing specific oneswith depends_foo-delete) ?Seeing as how the only place that's going to be setting depends_foo prior toa Portfile would be a port group, that makes sense. Considering their functionality, would a Portfile ever need to override a group's dependencies?
I've done it before (for a portfile I don't think I ever submitted, though).
I find the current syntax clear, and would rather just see the documentation and examples updated to recommend using the -append versions.
