I like this idea.  One of the first things reepca worked on was writing
a replacement for the ‘guix-register’ C++ program in Scheme, which also
provides the foundation for everything else on that branch.

I think we should be able to merge this bit independently of the rest,
as a first step.

It requires care, but that’s definitely something we should look into.

Thanks,
