<https://pantsbuild.slack.com/archives/C046T6T9U/p1654020278507039> is a useful anecdote i think about why untyped dependencies can be confusing. dependencies of Python targets and a bunch of other positions (docker in this case) are unchecked in general, so you don’t get an error if you have a dependency that doesn’t make sense.

we are miles from being able to actually enforce this in any way, but on a language-by-language basis i do think that having this constraint on dependencies is likely to be helpful
