Hi,

Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer <at> gmail.com> skribis:

> 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.
>
> Suggested-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo <at> gnu.org>

>    "Return an object representing the store item NAME, a file or directory

> +computed by GEXP.  When LOCAL-BUILD? is #t (the default), it ensures the

Please update doc/guix.texi as well.

Otherwise LGTM, thanks!
