PyPI (both Legacy and Warehouse) actually does do this already; see the 
`requires_dist` field in, e.g., <https://pypi.org/pypi/qypi/json>. However, 
this only seems to work if the maintainer uploads the wheel before uploading 
the sdist (unless the sdist is a .zip instead of a .tar.gz, then it can be 
uploaded first?  I'm not sure).
