Hi Kasperi,

I have a few helpful criticisms of your patch, if you do not mind! :)

Usually, when using the GNU Emacs yasnippet form from /guix/etc/snippets
the "add" is capitalized like so, "gnu: Add geary."

Would you mind adding this in its alphabetical order?

A single ; comment will suffice here since it exists on the same line. I
also wonder if it is possible to spoof that display variable in the
tests or just remove that singular test? I might look into this if I
have some time. Maybe mark this as a TODO:?

Some of my other comments apply to other sections, name about the single
; for same-line comments. I will give this a build and test when I get a
moment. In the mean time, I would also look over some of the inputs some
more, because I wonder if things like "vala" should be native-inputs
instead? Just a thought, I could be wrong.

If you can reroll your patch for a V2 and send it to this tracker issue,
I would appreciate it :).
