Guix,
I just encountered the following:
foo.scm:4:2: error: url-fetch: unbound variable
hint: Did you forget `(use-modules (guix build download))'?
Actually importing that module, instead of (guix download), will
cause some other very hard-to-debug error that I can't remember
but coincidentally helped someone fix on #guix the other day.
Now I understand how they got to that bad place.
Kind regards,
T G-R

Oh, bad hint indeed.
Now, the program cannot determine that of the two ‘url-fetch’, only one
makes sense.
Should it search further and propose all the possible options? In
general there won’t be more than a couple of options.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
