Does Wikidata store Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) names for
software?  CPE is a attempts to provide standard names for software
packages, primarily so that one can unambiguously refer to a software
package in a CVE.

If Wikidata supported CPE, that=E2=80=99d be nice because in Guix we already
store (sometimes=E2=80=A6) =E2=80=98cpe-name=E2=80=99 properties so that th=
ings like =E2=80=98guix lint
-c cve=E2=80=99 know which package to look for in the CVE database.
