[bug#31633] [PATCH 0/7] Add 'with-extensions' for gexps

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Guix!

These patches add a ‘with-extensions’ form for gexps and then use it.
‘with-extensions’ is akin to ‘with-imported-modules’, except that it
lists “full-blown” Guile packages where modules are available under
/share/guile/site/2.2 etc.

This fixes a longstanding issue where using extensions in gexps would be
inconvenient to say the least.

Extensions can be thought of as a generalization of “imported modules”
in that the latter could be implemented in terms of the former.  Perhaps
we should do that eventually, though that means that ‘compiled-modules’
and ‘imported-modules’ will have to put files in /share/guile and
/lib/guile like “real” packages do.

Feedback welcome!

Ludo’.
