I would very much welcome this as someone relatively new to guile and
scheme. Making it explicit with "plain" words is always preferable to
having to guess or look things up.

I've since learned that particular #t/#f convention, and it wouldn't
probably make a huge difference for me now personally, but I think it
would make the learning curve to contributing Guix a little gentler for
newcomers in general, and every bit helps. :)


live well,
