 I'm wondering whether equery has the same feature for querying. E.G: I'd
 like to be able to ask:

 equery l '=app-misc/my-pkg-1.1'

 I'd expect the listing to be empty when my-pkg is not installed, or is
 installed by of version less than 1.1.

 Thanks,

 Amit

Well, most equery subcommands support the same atom syntax, just 'list'
and 'size' apparently don't implement it, as those support regular
expressions instead.
