Pants

Does pants have a way to infer optional and type checking dependencies for Python? I have a module with a class that has a few methods that utilize pandas but those methods are rarely used and I want to make that dependency optional so it's not being included everywhere this module is.

Here's my import code for reference:
```try:
    # Pandas is a bulky library, so including it should be optional
    import pandas as pd
except ImportError:
    logging.getLogger(__file__).warning("Pandas is not installed! Calling any pandas related function will result in an error!")```
But pandas is still showing up as a dependency when I run `pants dependencies --transitive`

Just realized the person above me is asking nearly the same question :upside_down_face:

You can stmap the import with `# pants: no-infer-dep`
