 the meaning of cells in this table:
-*nothing: that constraint for that plasmoid has not been checked yet
+*R: Required
-*T: the plasmoid cannot satisfy this constraint and X-Plasma-Requires-<contraint>=true has been set in the .desktop file.
+*O: Optional
-*F: the plasmoid satisfies this constraint and X-Plasma-Requires-<contraint>=false has been set in the .desktop file.
+*U: Unused
-*O: it has made optional in the code using isAllowed, and X-Plasma-Requires-<contraint>=false has been set in the .desktop file.
+*nothing: not checked yet
-oh bloody hell. the .desktop file has no way to mark optional, which is bad for scripts, because if they say false they may never get it at all. FIXME I think I need to change from a bool to an enum or something, and I hope it's not too late.

+*Required: the plasmoid cannot do without this feature
+*Unused: the plasmoid doesn't use this feature at all
+*Optional: it has made optional in the code using isAllowed()
