Hello!

I finally went ahead and pushed it, after adding a note about the
instability of the API.  :-)

I think =E2=80=98remote-eval=E2=80=99 shouldn=E2=80=99t change much, but I=
=E2=80=99m not fully satisfied
with =E2=80=98lower-gexp=E2=80=99 in that it=E2=80=99s a bit too redundant =
with <derivation>
etc.  I couldn=E2=80=99t turn that vague feeling into actual code changes
though, so I=E2=80=99ll keep looking at it in the background, and it should=
n=E2=80=99t
have any impact on how =E2=80=98guix deploy=E2=80=99 uses =E2=80=98remote-e=
val=E2=80=99.

Apologies for the delay!
