I think we need to think a bit more on what this is called... we have two
somewhat different needs that are the exact same thing in code:

suggest_depends : thought of as 'other things that might be useful
along with this package'
optional_runtime_depends : thought of as 'other things this package can use if
they're there'

Especially once build_depends (and I assume optional_build_depends) are added,
having 'suggest_depends' and 'runtime_depends' is going to probably always
confuse people. I'd suggest make the primary name of this
'optional_runtime_depends'. If it's reasonable to add a stub
'suggest_depends'
that just calls 'optional_runtime_depends' then I think we might want to do
that, but if we're just going to call it one thing the o_r_d name is probably
the better of the two. (I know I'm the one that suggested calling it
'suggests'
originally, but that was before the relationship to runtime_depends was
noted.)
