Comment (by rhaas):

 To comment on my own comment. There are a thorns (eg NoExcision in its
 getlevelinfo.cc file for example) that have OPTIONAL Carpet in
 configuration.ccl but then at runtime check if Carpet is active and only
 then do something if Carpet is active. This particular case could (and
 likely should) be handled using the GetRefinementLevel aliased function,
 but similar logic to use some Carpet code when Carpet is active are
 conceivable. This of course might be an abuse of the capabilities system
 since it assumes that Carpet is the only thorn providing the Carpet
 capability.
