Today I got tripped by some inconsistency in the syntax. Observe:
- ~/.config/guix/channels.scm
(list (channel
(name 'guix)
(url "https://example.org/my-guix.git")
(branch "super-hacks")))
- /some/channel/with/deps/.guix-channel:
(channel
(version 0)
(dependencies
(channel
(name some-collection)
(url "https://example.org/first-collection.git"))
(channel
(name some-other-collection)
(url "https://example.org/second-collection.git")
(branch "testing"))))
(Those are examples taken from the manual.)
The former NAME field takes a quote while the latter does not.
In the latter, when adding a quote we get the not-so-helpful error:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix/channels.scm:326:22: Throw to key `match-error' with args `("match" "no matching pattern" #f)'.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
(Admittedly the backtrace gives a clue on what's happening, but still.)
I haven't looked at the code and I guess that .guix-channel is only
READ, not EVALed, while channels.scm is a first-class scheme code,
right?
Maybe we could match both 'SOME-NAME and SOME-NAME?
Thoughts?

Exactly.

I suppose we could do that. And/or we could make it clearer that
the ‘.guix-channel’ syntax has nothing to do with that of
‘channels.scm’, even if it looks similar.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Ludo’.

I think both would be ideal!
