What is the rationale behind the `:lib` value format? #1

Hi, @phronmophobic.

I'm trying to understand the data that dewey provides. I noticed that there is a :lib key that - I presume - holds a unique identifier for each project, in a format like io.github.phronmophobic/dewey. Could you please explain the rationale for this format?

It's a convention used by the clojure cli tools, https://clojure.org/reference/deps_and_cli#find-versions. It's also recognized by clojars, https://github.com/clojars/clojars-web/wiki/Verified-Group-Names#how-do-i-verify-a-group-name.

Big thanks for those pointers, @phronmophobic. Not sure how I missed that detail until now.
