I favor flushing PROVIDE and REQUIRE from the standard. Maybe someday
we'll figure out what we really want instead, but not in this round of
discussion. I'm now pretty sure that "the right thing" will look nothing
like the current PROVIDE and REQUIRE mechanisms, and that nothing is to be
gained by tightening them up slightly.
