Sorry :-). That's exactly the purpose. I'll add a comment now.

I saw the commit before the thread, so commented there.

Marking a dependency 'optional' excludes it from transitive dependency

(For example, that's how we compile Shale Test against HtmlUnit and
Cargo, but don't impose those dependencies on every Shale Test user.)
