I'd say forget sweet-write and go with curly-write and neoteric-write,
and go ahead and use MUST modals for them, without overspecifying
what they output. R7RS systems MUST provide curly-write{simple,shared}
and neoteric-write-{simple,shared} as well.
As long as there is a good reference implementation, there is no reason
not to require these things.
