Rather than an "@add x when y", what about "@allows x" defined within y,
where @allows was evaluated with the stipulations described above?
Alternatively, @try x, then define a set of @require directives in x
that must be met in order for x to be loaded (but that silently fail /
throw a warning if they fail to load)?
