emtee is AMAZING! It's an excellent approach to tackle a thorny problem, by treating emerge as a black box.

If anything, your README is too modest: I went from 7 mins for a failing emerge -puvND @world, or 19 minutes for a successful emerge -puvND --backtrack=30 --autounmask-backtrack=y @world to 30 sec for emtee -p.

but I was wondering if I could convince you to add --keep-going by default, with a switch to disable, or at lease a flag to enable it. I feel that this behavior is a much better experience, and since portage preserves dependent libraries for un-upgraded packages there is little downside to allowing the upgrade to go as far as it can. of course, I understand that I can use -E--keep-going but since you've added convenience flags for -a, -p, etc. I thought this was a good candidate too.

the main issue that prevented emerge from having a more convenient shorthand is that -k was already taken. since --usepkg is not directly relevant to emtee, perhaps you would be willing to use -K to disable --keep-going, or -k to enable if you would prefer not to have it be a default. otherwise, I'm not sure what a good letter to use would be. -g is also in use by emerge, unfortunately.

in any case, thank you for the effort you put in to not just creating, but thoroughly documenting this tool.
