Excellent, nicely written as usual!

The week-end has passed ;-), but I agree.  I’m taking a look at #26645
(the actual potluck patch) to see if I have anything to add, but yeah,
let’s push this real soon!

When we’re done, what about writing a blog post for the web site about

posted above.

Yes, post 0.13.0, we’ll depend on Guile-Git and start doing fun stuff
with it I hope.
