The test case contains the example "guile-2.0.6.65-134c9" which
invalidates my proposal.  Here is another idea which identifies the
version part by the presence of dots.  WDYT?

Subject: [PATCH] utils: Improve 'package-name->name+version' version
 detection.

Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/19219>.

* guix/build/utils.scm (package-name->name+version): Use a more generic
heuristic to detect version.  Usage of digits in names is now possible.
* tests/utils.scm ("package-name->name+version"): Add some cases.
