Certainly items like 'author', 'summary', etc should be optional, not
rigid parts of the library form. In fact, 'export' and 'import' should
be the only mandatory items. So, then this could work:
(library (xyz)
(author "...")
(summary "...")
(license "...")
(export "...")
(import "...")
...)
I.e. optional items come before 'export' and 'import'.
