So the goal is to make things slightly more concise than:
(profile (content (packages->manifest (list …))))
right?
We don’t have syntactic sugar like this elsewhere, and I would prefer to
remain consistent here. However, if that helps, we could have a
procedure, like:
(define (packages->profile name packages)
(profile (name name) …))
Thoughts?
