Karl said:

"[...] In general doc-url can occur more than once.  I did that when a
package has an overall documentation page and also many significant
manuals.  Besides guile-gnome, emacs is a prime example.

In theory, I guess logo: could be duplicated [too] in the event of a
package having more than one logo, but in practice that has never
happened.

[...]

I thought of another field that can be repeated, too: doc-shop.
E.g., in libc."

So, should we create another field for 'doc-url'?

And what's the best way to handle 'doc-shop'?  Can we ignore it?

I know; it's easy to end up with something like:

  getObject.getSetter.getString.getField()

I found (name get-employee-name) in the manual and decided that it's a
convention.

What about 'set-' for setters?
