Package extensions can make code loading faster:

https://pkgdocs.julialang.org/dev/creating-packages/#Conditional-loading-of-code-in-packages-(Extensions)

These are available from julia-1.9 onwards. Backwards compatibility can for older julia versions can be had with PackageExtensionTools.jl (which falls back to Requires.jl)

https://github.com/cjdoris/PackageExtensionTools.jl

This could be used in PlotRNA for the UnicodePlots and CairoMakie dependencies.
