yes, indeed. What I want to say: Besides other problems that newcomers of
different backgrounds might have when learning Scheme and/or Guile and/or
Guix, having to learn that "#f" means "false" is in my opinion one of the
least; whereas my other examples provide what I think are real difficulties
(some of which simply need a bit of studying of documentation).
