My opposition would be I figure its more likely you want a range of
exclusion, not a single version.
EG: you don't really want !=dev-python/paramiko-1.13.0 , you want
!=dev-python/paramiko1.13.0{,-r{0..999}} or something.
But distinguishing between "Just this exact version" and "This range" is hard.
Does <> Imply "and any -rversion" ?
Does <> imply "and any sub-version" like ~ does ?
