Now, I'm not following all branches of this discussion, so the chances
that I missed something are admittedly high, but the last time I
conversed with Eli about this, they said my use case was neither
supported nor something they'd consider supporting.  Thus, I'd be
positively surprised to see it in fact supported.

In any case, please do inform me about the solution once everything has
settled; I'll need to bump the emacs-next package in Guix, which
currently uses Lars' commit.

Cheers
