Re: [PATCH 0/6] Error reporting and hints for missing modules

[myglc2]

Hi Ludo’,

I built and played with this. I see you also provide a search hint when
you don't find an obvious match, as in ...

sys.scm:3:0: error: module (gnu services sshx) not found
hint: You may use `guix system search sshx' to search for a service matching 
`sshx'.  If you get the line `location: gnu/services/foo.scm:188:2', add `foo' 
to the `use-service-modules'
form.

This is very nice indeed.

Based on testing, may I suggest the hint rewording shown below ...
