This is a ball that we at THA can pick up, as we're quite explicit 
about, uhm, explicitly using the directives. We already have a small 
megrok.strictrequire package that does this for the grok.require() 
directive.

At the very least Jan-Jaap's (and others'!) work on the grok and zope 
buildbots can facilitate in this. See:

Also something that could interest us at THA.

Idem.

So much to do, so little time *sigh* :-)

I'm still working an hour here, an hour there on the 1.0 release. I hope 
to finish this soon. Then I will have the necessary mental bandwidth 
again. I think I'll start on the megrok.explicit package.
