This seems pretty much useless noise to me. Can you point to
any previous requests for such a feature? If we did do it,
why would we do it in such a narrow fashion (ie, only dependencies
of two specific kinds of objects on one other specific kind of
object)? Why did you do it in this direction rather than
the other one, ie show dependencies when examining the extension?
