Change to `0`, since this is the first revision in Guix.

Move this above `synopsis`.

Remove the `.git` part.

Probably better formatting:

  (arguments
   (list #:install-plan
         #~'(("doc" "share/nvim/site/pack/guix/start/packer/")
             ("lua" "share/nvim/site/pack/guix/start/packer/"))))

(I used site/guix instead of site/packer for my own Guix
neovim packages; it seems like any name after site/ works.)

This might be better as:

  Plugin manager for Neovim

And this as:

  This package provides a plugin manager for Neovim, inspired by Emacs's
  @code{euse-package}.  It's written in Lua, supports Luarocks dependencies,
  and is based on Vim's builtin plugin support.
