In dependancy resolution, if there is a cycle, the spells will all be cast,
but
they will be "de-cycled". The behaviour has always been _undefined_ on cyclic
dependancies... it could explode and refuse to cast anything. The fact that
sorcery doesn't rm -rf / is just from convention ;) Although it was a case
that was considered and a behaviour added so that it would do something
reasonable, like break the cycle.

In the cast of A depends on B, B optionaly depends on C you would suggest
cast A B (B w/o A)
the
cast A (with B support)
?

This cannot be done without rewriting libdepends again. The dependancies are
no
longer static for the whole cast, which increases the complexity considerably.
