But why not to unify them in another direction, i.e. not to use a list
for options in defvar-keymap.  Then both syntaxes would be the same:

  (define-keymap
    :full t
    "g" #'eww-reload)

  (defvar-keymap eww-textarea-map
    :full t
    "g" #'eww-reload)

instead of

  (defvar-keymap eww-textarea-map
    (:full t)
    "g" #'eww-reload)
