+# Checks a blacklist of known-suspect eclass variables which can be accidentally set
+# by maintainers, or may be accidentally left residual after an EAPI change.
+#
+# Dies if any of the suspect fields are found, and tell the user that the ebuild in question
+# is broken and needs a fix.
+#
+# There's a workaround, but you'll have to read the code for it.
