it is indeed all that was needed, abd makes me wonder
if a future version of dependency() shouldn't have a "has_header"
parameter like the one used in find_libray() to allow for this
validation to happen internally and fallback as needed.

Posted a v4 with your code and modifications to still allow a
fallback to the wrap.
