Right, that's what I meant, and it's how I read bug #15284, and it
looks remarkably like the form I use in my personal channels (and
I'm sure I'm not the first! :-).
You're much better at the language/implementation side of things
than I am, Taylan. Would this negatively affect performance
(including ‘guix pull’ compilation)?
Kind regards,
