Emerge --resume --skipfirst

Greetings,

I remember a dev remarking not long ago that this, the subject, had been 
superseded. Well, I had cause to use it today.

After wrestling with a maze of USE conflicts after the latest sync, I decided 
to cut the Gordian knot with an 'emerge -e @world'.

All was going smoothly until I noticed it was compiling Chromium; that's when 
I remembered installing that to test a website. It took 13 hours. So I aborted 
the emerge. What I should have done next is to 'emerge --resume --skipfirst' 
and uninstall chromium later. I hadn't the presence of mind, though, so I 
uninstalled chromium straight away and had to restart the -e @world from the 
beginning.

Ho hum.

Peter.
