Comment (by jorbin):

 Thanks for the initial patch @luisherranz, a few questions and thoughts
 that come to me right away:

 Can you explain why this reinvents dependency management rather than
 working off of `WP_Dependencies` or `_WP_Dependency`?

 You mention not having registration and enqueuing together but don't
 include any rationale behind why extenders of WordPress should need to
 maintain two different mental models for how external files are loaded
 into the HTML.

 I like the separation of dynamic and static modules, something that I
 think will be extremely helpful is if there is documentation to help guide
 developers in making the decision of which one to use.

 A useful test would be for circular dependency.
