I'm trying to set the default for user.  Here is the record from
installer/user.scm:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-record-type* <user>
  user make-user
  user?
  (name            user-name)
  (group           user-group
                   (default "users"))
  (home-directory  user-home-directory))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The following does not work:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-record-type* <user>
  user make-user
  user?
  (name            user-name)
  (group           user-group
                   (default "users"))
  (home-directory  user-home-directory
                   (default (string-append "/home/" name))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The define-record-type* does not seem to allow the record field initialization
to refer to itself.

Is there a way around it?
