I notice that explicit ordering syntax that doesn't trigger a strict
"requires" isn't on this list.  It's really something we need sooner rather
than later, and it's been requested by many people for quite some time now.

What needs to be done to get this prioritized?  There is a mounting set of
features we're implementing parts of very poorly because of the lack of this
functionality.
