Like Guile.  Initially I added this field for this purpose:

  (self-native-input? #t)

But what you did is better, and is enough to get rid of
‘self-native-input?’.

However, the patch doesn’t apply on ‘master’.  Could you check
what’s going on?

Also, make sure the commit log specifies the changes (like “Add
‘native-inputs’ field”) rather than the rationale (info "(standards)
Change Log Concepts").

Thanks,
