Phases
Default Phase Functions
The default pkg_nofetch and src_* phase functions are now
accessible via a function having a name
that begins with default_ and
ends with the respective phase function name. For example,
a call to a function with the name default_src_compile is
equivalent to a call to the default src_compile
implementation.
Default Phase Functions
Function Name
default_pkg_nofetch
default_src_unpack
default_src_configure
default_src_compile
default_src_test
The default phase functions for a particular EAPI are also
accessible as functions having names that start with 'eapi'
followed by the EAPI value. For example, a call to a function
named eapi0_src_compile is equivalent to a call to the
default src_compile implementation that is provided with EAPI 0.

Default Phase Function Alias
A function named "default" is redefined for each phase so that it
will call the default_* function corresponding to the current phase.
For example, a call to the function named "default" during the
src_compile phase is equivalent to a call to the function named
default_src_compile.
