13. Add a post_depends set
* My main concern with this is that the current model creates a simple
directed graph amenable to recursion, and any circular dependencies

will make some of the recursion algorithms too complex to be reliable. I
can't prove this yet though, so this is worth keeping an eye and
considering in more depth. --Adam K

Obviously useful, but down this road lies madness as Adam points out.
Somebody will have to put a lot of thought into this before he can
convince me this will work out.
I'd rather have a less capable dependency system than a broken one.
