yes, I see that now :-/
That's wat Geiser was trying to tell me proposing some info about te let*
form

I don't know what I can say.
My outlook was so narrowed that I didn't realize that "(make-img..." was
NOT a procedure call.

Raising the look at the previous line would have been enough :-/

I sincerely apologize for the fuss

Good to know, thanks

Yes, I know "guix edit"

I preferred the other way because I wanted to be sure a repl was available.
I had also prepared to show off C-c C-a but it slipped out of my mind when
recording

I didn't know about the "e" key, though. Thanks

Ludo, as an excercise I could try to convert that package to using gexps,
but as for instructing Geiser about how to deal with gexps, I wouldn't know
where to start from

I don't know what exactly the chatter between Geiser and the Guile REPL is
made of

Thank you all.
