Thanks for the improvement, Leo.

I just asked at the "Guile & Guix Errors" session at FOSDEM 2025
during the Guix Days Fringe event, and Ludo shared this hack with me.

(For the record, until now, I have forced package rebuilds by putting
a dummy (write "...") or (format #t "...") in one of the user-defined
modify-phases.)

BTW, I feel like the whole explanation of what grafts and grafting are
could be made a bit clearer—with the help of a picture or something
similar. But that's something for another pull request.

Cheers, Bost
