Where would the inter-file dependencies go, then?

Let's suppose you implied that the module form would be specified if only
there actually are any dependencies to speak of. 

This implies that you have to use heuristics while interpreting the
first form -- is it in the (module (&key &allow-other-keys)) form or not.

Is this acceptable to Faré?
