Summary so far: cast works. What doesn't is storing depends info, and that 
makes at least dispel, gaze, and cleanse uncooperative.

I cast my test ams spell with this line:

  optional_depends  "cmt mcp-plugins rev-plugins swh-plugins vco-plugins"  \
                    ""  ""  "to install example sound patches"

Everything went fine during cast, but things in INSTALL didn't work. I had in 
there 'if is_depends_enabled $SPELL cmt; then', which failed. That was 
because the line in /var/state/sorcery/depends is indeed:

  ams:cmt mcp-plugins rev-plugins swh-plugins vco-plugins:on:optional::

After changing the line in install to 'if is_depends_enabled $SPELL "cmt 
mcp-plugins rev-plugins swh-plugins vco-plugins"; then' the examples 
installed properly.

'dispel --user-deps' doesn't prompt about recasting ams when I dispel one or 
all of the plugin spells.

'gaze dependencies ams 2' displays this:
        cmt mcp-plugins rev-plugins swh-plugins vco-plugins (optional)

'gaze depends <plugin spell>' doesn't work.

'cleanse --nofix ams' doesn't recognize when one of the plugin spells is 
missing.
