Don't include the leading 'A'.

Could expand it a bit, how about:

"Hack is designed to be a workhorse typeface for code, it expands
upon the Bitstream Vera & DejaVu projects, provides 1561 glyphs
including powerline support."

You can use:  `(string-replace-substring version "." "_")', which
is the (guix utils) module.  (I find the behavior of `string-replace'
builtin in Guile a bit suprised.. while the string-replace procudure
in Racket actually is our string-replace-substring as I except.)

This license looks the same as Bitstream Vera font, which
use "license:x11-style".


Could you send a update?  Thanks!
