Is there a way to specify a conditional dependency (that is, use package 
Foo if it's available and define functions that use things from Foo; 
otherwise, don't define the functions or throw an error message) on 
packages that contain macros? isdefined(Main, :Package) won't work since 
the macros from Package are evaluated prior to this conditional, and it 
will throw an error.

I was using Requires.jl to do this, but one issue I ran into is that an 
error in the code within the @require block is not propagated as an error; 
it's presented as a warning, which means that things like unit tests will 
pass even if the code is incorrect.
