Implementation Details

What do other modules need to do to declare a dependency on this one, in addition to or instead of a plain module dependency?

Components such as the window system, which use values defined here, will behave in a reasonable way if those values are not defined. However, it is preferable that they declare a runtime dependency on the plaf library.
