Thanks!  The patch looks good to me, the only thing: it would be good to
generate "…-autoloads.el" file (see below) to make "M-x gnuplot-mode"
available right away, otherwise a user has to adjust ".emacs" to
autoload it.

BTW this package is called "gnuplot" on MELPA, because there is another
"gnuplot-mode" (also available on MELPA):

  https://github.com/mkmcc/gnuplot-mode

Perhaps we should stick to the MELPA names, otherwise it may be
confusing if we call this package "gnuplot-mode", WDYT?

To generate "autoloads.el", the 'arguments' could be written like this:

    (arguments
     (let ((elisp-dir (string-append "/share/emacs/site-lisp/guix.d"
                                     "/gnuplot-mode-" version)))
       `(#:modules ((guix build gnu-build-system)
                    (guix build utils)
                    (guix build emacs-utils))
         #:imported-modules (,@%gnu-build-system-modules
                             (guix build emacs-utils))
         #:configure-flags
         (list (string-append "EMACS=" (assoc-ref %build-inputs "emacs")
                              "/bin/emacs")
               (string-append "--with-lispdir=" %output ,elisp-dir))
         #:phases
         (modify-phases %standard-phases
           (add-after 'install 'generate-autoloads
             (lambda* (#:key outputs #:allow-other-keys)
               (emacs-generate-autoloads
                "gnuplot"
                (string-append (assoc-ref outputs "out") ,elisp-dir))
               #t))))))
