In the same kind of idea is it planned (is it at least feasable?) to do
something like:
I want to cast X.
Y is also casted because X depends on Y.
I don't want X anymore so I dispell it.
-->dispel offers me to dispell Y as well because it's no longer needed by any
spell.
I would find this useful because it often happens that I cast something which
depends on a lot of other stuff just to see if I like it; but I usually
dispel it afterwards and since I don't want my system to be bloated by lots
of unused stuff, I have to dispell one by one all the previous dependencies.
