The rgl package has a really large number of dependencies, especially if I include soft (Suggested) dependencies. It would be nice to reduce that number.

To do that, I can imagine a tool that gives the following information:

 - For each export from rgl, which dependencies are needed?

 - For each dependency, which exports are supported?

- Are there other ways to get the same support with fewer dependencies? E.g. if rgl used devtools::install_github, it could be replaced with remotes::install_github.

Does a tool already exist that addresses these questions?
