I have advocated a syntax that uses the URL as part of the name, e.g. (github.com/feeley/digest) or (github.com/feeley digest), so that the package manager can operate without a central registry of libraries, which is important to give library authors the freedom to create and update libraries as they see fit.  A nice practical advantage of a URL name like github.com/feeley/digest is that many tools (code editors, slack, web browsers, email readers, etc) will detect these names and offer a hyperlink that will allow the repository to be browsed in a single click.

In general, we are not interested in finding single libraries but packages (that include meta-information and know about dependencies). It is the packages that need to be found automatically. So it makes sense to "name" packages through a URI, but libraries can still be named, as usual, e.g. `(srfi 999)` or `(scheme box)` or `(nieper bubblesort)`.

In my view, repositories are equated with packages and the repository’s subdirectories (possibly including the root) are the libraries.

So if the URL is github.com/account/repo then these are possible libraries:

   (github.com/account/repo)           ;; if the package is itself a library (useful for small libraries)
   (github.com/account/repo foo)       ;; the foo library in the package
   (github.com/account/repo bar)       ;; the bar library in the package
   (github.com/account/repo foo qux)   ;; the foo/qux library in the package
