I'm more used to sending patches as email attachments, instead of using
git-send-email.  If Guix requires the latter then I'll adjust, but I've
been sending plenty of patches following the former approach.

It makes no sense to have emacs-slime-next and cl-slime-swank-next.
I've bumped it because significant changes have been introduced since
the last tagged released.

In the meantime, I've kindly request a tagged release upstream.  Whether
I'll get a reply soon remains to be seen.

With all respect to your work, Christopher Baines, I'd kindly suggest a
review by the Common Lisp team - Guillaume Le Vaillant, who has been
reviewing most of my patches lately.

Thanks!
