It’s unfortunately not that simple: the above code doesn’t work, notably
because ‘gexp->derivation’ is a monadic procedure, unlike
‘build-expression->derivation’.

Also, the first hunk is unnecessary since it’s in an internal procedure
that’s used by ‘build-expression->derivation’ itself.

I’m closing it for now but this is something we should address
eventually!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
