I would very much welcome this as someone relatively new to guile and scheme. Making it explicit with "plain" words is always preferable to having to guess or look things up. I've since learned that particular #t/#f convention, and it wouldn't probably make a huge difference for me now personally, but I think it would make the learning curve to contributing Guix a little gentler for newcomers in general, and every bit helps. :) live well, vagrant --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEARYKAB0WIQRlgHNhO/zFx+LkXUXcUY/If5cWqgUCX4nJJwAKCRDcUY/If5cW qn2LAQDtOXHW0qMU/msRnZLVv7RWHhKLSkr808fMMbrvlx77RAEAt3g2FFVMD81i gsl1MCrbdpHPBQq8xLvgxzZfBPD/qwk= =W2cm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
