Details

Description: I suggest to add a new option to pactree to (also) list optional dependencies.


Additional info:
Introduce e.g. an argument "--optional" resp. "-o" to make pactree also (recursively) include optional dependencies of a package.
Analogously change behaviour on "--reverse" to also list packages that optionally depend on a respective package iff "--optional" was supplied.


Steps to reproduce:
N/A

The optional packages could perhaps be marked in some unambiguous way,
e.g. appending " ?" to the package name with the question mark borrowing
from its 'zero or one' meaning in extended regexps.
