Another question, which is bikesheddy, is how to name Go packages in
Guix.
So far, I've used "golang-$upstreamname", which is how Petter named the
work-in-progress packages I am finishing. This leads to very long
package names, but I don't know a better way to ensure unique names for
each package.
I think we should do "go-$upstreamname" instead. Golang is not the name
of the language, but rather the domain name (go.org was apparently not
available), and a term that has been adopted by the community. But, it
would be good to save 4 characters here.
