Existing use implies a desire to: - treat leading "-" as optional - query the value of a "flag" - query the entire arg of a "-flag" or "-flag=" or really anything other than "flag" where CFLAGS has "-flag=*" But unfortunately we also do odd things like match `get-flag -g` to retrieve -grecord-gcc-switches or -fno-gnu-keywords etc. It's a rough substring match and really we want to match flag *names*. It is also a bit awkward to do "-flag=" and then trim off the flag name by hand. Update the algorithm to allow for this. Given it's a big change to usability, require users to opt in to the new algorithm by migrating their ebuilds to EAPI 9 and testing there. They could have been relying on what I called a bug. Some things that will definitely break, but I cannot conceive of why one would do it: - FLAGS="-fno-gnu-keywords"; get-flag -g Gross misuse. - FLAGS="-flto-incremental=/path"; get-flag "-flto-inc*=" omitting the = works fine, what is the goal here???
