Rebased and finally applied!

However, I took the liberty to make the changes below.  Essentially,
‘channels’ is now a list of channel (as the name suggests) rather than a
file-like.  It’s a tradeoff: on one hand it’s less expressive (that
prevents users from sticking arbitrary Scheme code in there), but OTOH
it’s easier to use.

If that is deemed too rigid, we can revisit that and either allow for
file-like objects or for gexps, or add a separate ‘channels-file’ field.

Pushed as 883e69cdfd226c8f40b6e3b76ce0740b59857de6.

Thanks!

Ludo’.
