Subject: [PATCH v2] gexp: computed-file: Prevent mistakenly overriding default option values.

From: Maxim Cournoyer <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2020 00:37:44 -0400

In order to do so, default to an empty options list, and expose options whose
default values are sensitive directly as keyword arguments.

* guix/gexp.scm (computed-file): Extract the LOCAL-BUILD? parameter from the
OPTIONS parameter to make it a stand-alone keyword argument.  Introduce an
OPTIONS* binding which is obtained by combining the LOCAL-BUILD? keyword and
its value with OPTIONS.
