Hi Guix,

Our documentation mentions that snippets can be a gexp.  Sadly, this is
rarely possible in practice because it seems to be prone to top-level
dependency cycles between the modules.

The solution would be to turn the snippet field into a thunked field,
and measure what is the incurred performance penalty.

Thanks,
Maxim
