Hi Florian,

Thanks.  If we do decide to do this (I don't think it's a good idea; just keep ‘guile-g-golf’), then add a comment like

;; Use ‘guile-g-golf’ above in package inputs and other code.  This alias exists as a compromise,
;; see <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2025-02/msg00296.html>.

so later readers can know why we have two identical packages with different package names.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Sent on the go.  Excuse or enjoy my brevity.
