That suggests that the current approach, which is:
read it all once process the system-depends-on process the other initargs
won't get at the root of the system dependency problem. What we need instead is something like
slurp it without reading process the system-depends-on /then/ expose it to the reader (if we so choose).
I'd like to give this some thought before we lock ourselves into the first approach with as yet unconsidered problems of backward compatibility moving to the second.
That change looks complicated. I would not recommend delaying the release for it to be made.
Unless you think a lot of projects will jump on this broken feature, I don't see an issue with backward compatibility in the future. Hence my belief that proper documentation and maybe a style-warning should be sufficient.
