Wait, what? If you mean old-style virtuals, the position has always |
| 9 |
been that it's illegal to dep upon them in any way other than a simple |
| 10 |
virtual/foo with no operators. If you mean new-style virtuals, then |
| 11 |
they should be taking care of propagating any relevant use dependencies |
| 12 |
themselves. |
