[bug#54997] [PATCH 01/12] gexp: Add 'references-file'.

[Thiago Jung Bauermann via Guix-patches via <guix-patches@gnu.org>]

Hello Ludo,

This is an awesome series! It will be yet another strength of Guix to
have many services as possible (and even desktop apps, hopefully)
isolated.

I have one question:

I'm sure I'm being dense, but I don't see how ‘item’ can change between
iterations of this loop. Which in my mind means that ‘read-graph’ can
only return a list where the original ‘item’ argument from
‘references-file’ is repeated many times over. I ran the tests/gexp.scm
test and all tests pass, so this code must be working...
