   Bash parsing support could let us do some neat things like fixing *DEPEND whitespace and preferred style for specifying dependencies (newlines where appropriate, and so on -- and possibly making it easier to sort them?).

   Examples we should be able to do w/o parsing:

   • blank line after EAPI
   • sorting (some) eclasses (at least those which don't export phases)

   Examples we can't:

   • "block structure" (some variables in a certain order, space, some other variables in a certain order)
   • sort *DEPEND(?)
