label for binding dependencies

[mbest]

I've decided that the word 'dependencies' is confusing and am thinking of using 'requires' instead. Thus a binding that has a dependency would be specified like this:

ko.bindingHandlers.custom = {
    requires: 'value',
    update: ....
}

To specify dependencies in the binding string:

value: myValue, custom: someProp, requires: {custom: 'value'}

• 'Require' is pretty clear, but it's a verb and doesn't work well in the binding string (works okay in the handler definition).
• 'Dependency' is a noun but can mean two very different things (I have a dependency on you. I am a dependency of you.)
• I decided to use 'need' instead. It can be a noun or a verb and has a pretty clear meaning.

ko.bindingHandlers.custom = {
    needs: 'value',
    update: ....
}

value: myValue, custom: someProp, needs: {custom: 'value'}
