Sounds good.  That's what I suggested, but with the
addition of the `...' (good).

However, in that case, KEYWORDS is the _wrong_ name.

It is not _keywords_, which is presumably a _list_
of keywords (or more exactly, keyword key-value
pairs), that is repeated.  What is optional is not
a list of lists.  What is optional is a list of
keywords (or more exactly...).

The name should be KEYWORD or KEYWORD-ENTRY or
KEYWORD-PAIR or some such.  It should not be
KEYWORDS.
