-- Do we need a `requests' field for services?  Service-symbols
-  specified there would be started like requirements, but if starting
-  all services providing it would fail, we could continue anyway.
-  This sounds nice, but it can easiely be emulated by adding to the
-  `start' code something like:
-
-    (for-each start '(service1 service2))

-  Since this is so simple, I wonder if this functionality is that
-  commonly needed that it is worth adding it.  If desired, it would be
-  trivial to implement if we don't consider that we might get into
-  trouble due to conflicts of these services with other services we
-  need to start.
-
-- Do we need a field for services that specifies the global startup
-  order, which has a smaller priority than dependencies?  This is
-  implemented in Darwins init system and was requested for dmd, but I
-  have no idea what that should be good for.  If desired, it would
-  probably not be extremely hard to hack it into dmd.  However, a
-  better solution might be soft dependencies: "If we start both FOO
-  and BAR, start FOO first."
