Subject: [PATCH v2] inferior: Support querying package replacements.

From: Christopher Baines <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 14 May 2021 09:42:00 +0100

I'm looking at this to help with adding support for looking up package
replacements to store in the Guix Data Service.

* guix/inferior.scm (inferior-package-replacement): New procedure.
* tests/inferior.scm ("inferior-package-replacement"): New test.
