The format here sadly prevents producing `include' directives with link to the
store, since any file-like object will be just serialized as its representation:

  `("foo"
    "bar"
    ("aa" "bb")
    ,(plain-file "foo" "baz"))

Will end up as:

    foo
    bar
    (aa bb)
    #<<plain-file> name: "foo" content: "baz" references: ()>

Neither the list nor the plain-file are as expected.  What about doing just
this:

    (match extra-content
      ((? string? extra-content) extra-content)
      ((? list? extra-content)
       (map (lambda (line)
              `("    " ,line "\n"))
            extra-content)))

This produces the expected (in my opinion) output:

    foo
    bar
    aabb
    /gnu/store/7pz4iczjvgvn9ikpp1ip50bk6vi4sk7b-foo

Meaning you can now do things like

    (extra-content `(("include " ,%some-file.conf ";")))

And it will work as expected.  It already works like this for raw-content in the
nginx-server-configuration.

Thoughts?
