Which isn't a problem, so long as these are all things that can be
introduced pretty much straight away. If any of them aren't ready to
go, they'd be better held off to EAPI-2. After all, people seem to want
to be allowed to use :slot deps right now...

None of these are anything that would end up sounding bad if worded as
"as per existing practice, except ...".
