Even after the proposed interface goes in we will still have to
support the old-style interface whether it has this feature or not.
Users will be able to choose which style to use.  Having a way to
get the dependencies in the old-style interface will be useful.

So long as it is not too complicated to implement both interfaces
once the proposed one is added I think we should go with this option.

The new interface is complex enough that it should be more thoroughly
reviewed and discussed by interested parties.
