Example:
  Suppose your project has the following structure:

  ```
  [workspace]/
      WORKSPACE
      BUILD
      checkstyle/
          BUILD
          checkstyle.bzl
      lua/
          BUILD
          lua.bzl
          luarocks.bzl
  ```

  In this case, you can have `bzl_library` targets in `checkstyle/BUILD` and
  `lua/BUILD`:

  `checkstyle/BUILD`:

  ```python
  load("@bazel_skylib//:bzl_library.bzl", "bzl_library")

  bzl_library(
      name = "checkstyle-rules",
      srcs = ["checkstyle.bzl"],
  )
  ```

  `lua/BUILD`:

  ```python
  load("@bazel_skylib//:bzl_library.bzl", "bzl_library")

  bzl_library(
      name = "lua-rules",
      srcs = [
          "lua.bzl",
          "luarocks.bzl",
      ],
  )
  ```
