Howdy!

Yeah, I imagine it’s not trivial.

‘%gnu-build-system-modules’ is documented as the set of “modules
imported and used by default”, whereas here you just want to specify
modules in scope.  So I would have a slight preference for an explicit
list here.  It’s really cosmetic though, no big deal.

Neat!
