Hi Ludo,

I am late to the party.  I just have one bikeshedding question about
double ’@’ for specifying the version…

…as here.  Is doubling ’@’ mandatory for technical reasons?  Because
usually, Guix uses simple ’@’ when referring to a specific version.

BTW, patch#51545 [1] adds similar features for egg importer.
