The implementation of that method is broken down to just reading/parsing
an XML file that way. You can implement that easily with every
programming language of interest. There is no scope logic to implement.
That's done at build time.
When all those different trees have been fetched, the 'only' thing left
to implement is conflict resolution / building the effective dependency
tree. Since scopes have already been resolved, that could possibly also
be broken down to just one very simple rule: nearest wins - no
exceptions. Version ranges are only there to be able to check for
conflicting ranges or hard requirements, right?
