What if we just did not print installed optional dependencies? I'm open to that idea, but hesitant to completely remove them. Maybe we can adjust the output of pacman -Si to include this status in the optional dep list? I'd like additional opinions for either of these changes.

But that puts the most important uninstalled optdep in the middle of the output. I suppose that's true. From my testing, however, it looks fairly distinct. Example:
Optional dependencies for cmus alsa-lib: for ALSA output plugin support [installed] libao: for AO output plugin support [installed] libpulse: for PulseAudio output plugin support [installed] faad2: for AAC input plugin support [installed] flac: for flac input plugin support [installed] libmad: for mp3 input plugin support [installed] libmodplug: for modplug input plugin support [installed] libmp4v2: for mp4 input plugin support [installed] libmpcdec: for musepack input plugin support [installed] libvorbis: for vorbis input plugin support [installed] wavpack: for wavpack input plugin support [installed] ffmpeg: for ffmpeg input plugin support opusfile: for opus input plugin support
What if we moved [installed] to the start of the line, or added a line between the two groups of packages?
