You are probably right.  Please feel free to adjust the validator.

I personally do not use the configuration-record's type checking
features anymore.  I will present my configuration system, which also
disentangles the painful splicing of values into the command line, soon.

I do not understand your sentence (and am not sure it's true).  The
Guile prerequisites are for the modules your users write.

I am a fan of WASM.  What does it have to do with Guile-PAM, please?

Yeah, that happened because I wrote the service to integrate Guile-PAM
into the existing Guix stack.  It quickly proved superior, however, to
use Guile-PAM's stack, which is nearly identical. [1][2]

An easy solution would be to merge patches two and three into a single
patch.

Kind regards
Felix
