While prefix is not an ARCH or a in USE_EXPANDed variable, it is
included in the list of implicit USE flags, which do not need to be
included in IUSE.

We could, if EAPI-3 were supported by portage (the support has not yet
been enabled) and the council okayed it to be used in the tree (which
has not yet occurred).

Why is prefix not in IUSE? 

IUSE lists "the USE flags used by the ebuild.
Historically, USE_EXPAND values and ARCH were not included..."

prefix is not an ARCH.


BTW: don't we bump EAPI to not add this `use prefix ||...` test?
