Thanks, guess I'll go down the file route for now, but this is an
unsatisfactory solution IMHO.
What if you have multiple keys, or want to only include a subset of
keys in a given machine?
Having to use a file object to store a sexp is an odd choice when every
other part of Guix tries as hard as it can to use sexps and Scheme data
structures for configuration.

If no one wants to fix it, mind if I give it a go?
