Description: Please kindly add versioned 'isl' provides.

As this was upstreamed from AUR to Arch and got renamed,
some packages in AUR can no longer reach this because they
define e.g. depends=isl>=14.

Examples:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/arm-none-eabi-linaro-binutils
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/arm-none-eabi-gcc60-linaro

I know that with this rename, ideally the AUR isl* package names should be
canonicalized to this, and all AUR dependents of isl should switch over
to depends=libisl.

But this kind of transition is a pain with so many different packages
and maintainers.

The requested versioned isl provides would be a small addition to this package
but would ease the transition burden considerably.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  I digged through the packages a bit and most of them haven't seen an update nor a out-of-date notification. I don't really like the idea of fixing aur packages in [core]. Please mark those pkgs out-of-date.
Thanks
