IIRC, previous discussions of this sort of thing have tended to
feature-creep toward having also test_recommends and various other
granularities.
I believe there is also the issue that M::B doesn't install these items,
it only warns about them being missing. So, getting them installed (or
prompting about installing them, etc.) is a matter of CPAN/CPANPLUS
support and a new version of the META.yml spec.
