Right, that's what I meant, and it's how I read bug #15284, and it 
looks remarkably like the form I use in my personal channels (and 
I'm sure I'm not the first! :-).

You're much better at the language/implementation side of things 
than I am, Taylan.  Would this negatively affect performance 
(including ‘guix pull’ compilation)?

Kind regards,
