Why is illuminate/support a dependency?

[boosis]

I haven't used this yet, but could you tell me why illuminate/support is a dependency? I didn't see where you used this library.

The only usage I can find in the code is the Mailer contract Illuminate\Contracts\Mail\Mailer in Event.php.

illuminate/support shouldn't be a dependency of a framework-agnostic package as it is a huge package itself, with a number of dependencies. It's intended to provide support packages for the Laravel framework itself and not really intended for use elsewhere, unless you're building a Laravel specific package that can be tied to a specific Laravel version.

Yes, I saw that. Even there it's only namespace, Mailer class is not used anywhere in that class

@rossbearman illuminate/support was used for a couple of helper functions like array_get(), array_only, collect, and a few others. However, this dependency has been removed in the latest release of Crunz, which is 1.1.1.

The reference to Illuminate\Contracts\Mail\Mailer has been removed as well.

Good job, thanks for resolving this.
