Thanks for working on this. However, I have a question about the synopsis:

> +      (synopsis "Common Lisp JSON reading and writing for the Kzinti")

As a native American English speaker, I find Kzinti to be an obscure word. 
I didn't know what it meant when I first read it. Doing a search online 
wasn't that enlightening. The best thing I could fine talked about alien 
cats [0]. Do you think the synopsis could be improved in the future to 
more clearly say what the software is for and improve search results? 
Perhaps shortening it to "Common Lisp JSON reading and writing" would be 
sufficient?

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kzin

Best,
Jack

Before pushing Sharlatan's patch, I changed the synopsis to "Common Lisp
JSON reading and writing library". I also didn't know that word, found
that it was probably a reference to a cat-looking warrior from space in
a series of science fiction novels, and concluded that it was not
really related to JSON processing.

Happy to here that I wasn't alone in thinking that. I guess it's time to 
`guix pull` and benefit from the new packages.

Thanks!
