Hello everyone,arch) and depends on LLVM, which can be a big problem for people who just want to upgrade "sys-fs/ncdu" (the only reverse dependency) or use this programming language on systems with small amount of RAM.
I'd like to introduce "zig" virtual package that will be satisfied by "dev-lang/zig-bin" or "dev-lang/zig" package [1]. The main reason is that compilation of "dev-lang/zig" requires a lot of RAM [2] (10 GB, which makes it impossible to build on x86

In general that's a valid use of virtual and I don't exactly mind having
it added but if it's just one package, perhaps it'd be better to start
with a simple || dep and see how things develop?
