But a build-time dependency often automatically results in a hard runtime
dependency, e.g., for C/C++ libraries.
A common issue in the Core vs. Extras days was that a package in Core had to
be compiled without some compile-time-optional feature because that feature
would have depended on a library in Extras. The above proposal would not
solve this issue.
