• "authors:", B0_meta.authors.
• "available:", B0_opam.Meta.available.
• "build:", B0_opam.Meta.build.
• "bug-report:", B0_meta.issues.
• "conflicts:", B0_opam.Meta.conflicts.
• "description:", B0_meta.description.
• "depends:", B0_opam.Meta.depends.
• "depopts:", B0_opam.Meta.depopts.
• "dev-repo:", B0_meta.repo.
• "doc:", B0_meta.online_doc.
• "homepage:", B0_meta.homepage.
• "install:", B0_opam.Meta.install.

• "name:", B0_opam.Meta.name iff with_name is true.
