Individual dependencies as objects are only supported from version
`0.31.0`.

Dependencies can be the main (unnamed) library of a package or named
sublibraries of a package. For example, for a package named `my-package` with
a main library and a sublibrary named `my-library`:

* `my-package` or `my-package:my-package` specifies a dependency on its main
library only;

* `my-package:my-library` specifies a dependency on its sublibrary `my-library`
only; and

* `my-package:{my-package,my-library}` specifies a dependency on
the libraries listed between `{` and `}` only.

When a dependency is specified as an object, you can use the `mixin`
field to control what modules from the dependency your program will
see and how its signatures are filled in:
