I don't think optional dependencies are truly the answer.
There are ways to fix this otherwise is to break dependency
chains when only a small part is used.
In this case:
- use a GC slice
- use malloc
- use std.experimental.allocator
My pet peeve is the isfreedesktop package.

Yes it is annoying, but with a bit of copy-paste you can break
dependencies chain and avoid the npm situation where "640
packages were installed"
