Like Guile.  Initially I added this field for this purpose:

  (self-native-input? #t)

But what you did is better, and is enough to get rid of
=E2=80=98self-native-input?=E2=80=99.

However, the patch doesn=E2=80=99t apply on =E2=80=98master=E2=80=99.  Coul=
d you check
what=E2=80=99s going on?

Also, make sure the commit log specifies the changes (like =E2=80=9CAdd
=E2=80=98native-inputs=E2=80=99 field=E2=80=9D) rather than the rationale (=
info "(standards)
Change Log Concepts").

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
