This is OK, but it should be documented. And one must be careful, because emerge sync \
will overwrite user-edited ebuild.

What about making "c,c++" the default and he who needs e.g. fortran would edit the \
ebuild or do something like GCC_LANGS="c,c++,fortran" (as Richard Lärkäng suggested), \
which is IMHO equivalent to using new USE flags. Mozilla ebuild also uses "private" \
USE flags, e.g. moznoirc moznomail moznocompose (BTW, that's how I have built it).
