Hi Bruno,

Thank you so much for you comments!
I've applied (almost, see below) all of your suggestions and I will send a v2.

This is the only thing I can't figure out how to make work?!
When I remove the `(if #$(maybe-value-set? value) …)` I get the
following error:

```

I totally agree! You guessed correctly, this home service was living
inside `(bioneland home services msmtp)`, so the naming seemed to make
sense at the time, but not any more!

Thanks again for your time and help!
