Hi Guix, At the Guile REPL, why does macro expansion of a use-package-modules invocation fail when the package in question doesn't exist, but it succeeds when the package exists?
Here's an example: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- scheme@(guile-user)> ,use (gnu) scheme@(guile-user)> ,expand (use-package-modules foo) While executing meta-command: ERROR: no code for module (gnu packages foo) scheme@(guile-user)> ,expand (use-package-modules base) $1 = (begin ((@@ (guile) process-use-modules) ((@@ (guile) list) '((gnu packages base)))) (if #f #f)) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Since ,expand is supposed to expand macros in a form, I did not expect the existence or non-existence of the package to matter. There's a gap in my understanding here, and I'm hoping you can help to fill it. -- Chris
