Maybe IUSE_EXPAND is seen by most as namespaced USE flags ?
For example libgphoto2 has used this feature for as long as I can
remember it being around, and no package using it rely on them.

I personally don't think this is a good idea. Imho USE_EXPAND should be
used for flags that will be used by multiple (5?) packages -- for the
simple reason, that USE_EXPAND somewhat hints for using /etc/make.conf
for configuration (yes, you can still use package.use, but this feature
is probably not so well known). Also the bug gives no reasoning, why
having USE_EXPAND is a good thing here.

[gentoo-dev] Add HEXCHAT_PLUGINS to USE_EXPAND

Hello, I'd want to ask if it's possible and a good idea to add
HEXCHAT_PLUGINS to the global USE_EXPAND var.

HEXCHAT_PLUGINS has been created as a user (and maintainer) request in
bug 461972 [1] to handle easily the net-irc/hexchat plugins that this
package offers, which are: checksum, doat, fishlim and sysinfo.

The purposed ebuild can be found on the bug's attached files list.
