Hi Ludo,

OK, so what's the exact rule? If the literal string has to be right
after the symbol "synopsis", then your optional-arg approach shouldn't
work when the argument is supplied at the call site (in
gfortran-toolchain).

That would still leave the option of doing something like

  (define-public gfortran-toolchain
   (package (inherit (make-gcc-toolchain gfortran))
     (synopsis ...)
     (description ...)

Cheers,
  Konrad.
