I think of aux_get as a simple, low-level, and raw interface to package |
| 10 |
metadata. I'd rather not see higher level dependency logic mangling this |
| 11 |
data behind the scenes. If a *DEPEND attribute is needed, I think that it |
| 12 |
should be an attribute of some higher level package class that provides |
| 13 |
access to various useful information that's derived from the raw metadata. |
