I'd personally say the less magic reexports - the better. It's ok to go
through all of core-updates and fix missing imports.

Would be nice the all those syntactic errors could be caught with something
lighter-weight than full 'guix build'.

I'm afraid I have no idea how symbol visibility works in guix as I'm
still struggling to find which code builds and evaluates '*-guile-builder' 
files.

For example what is the difference between
    (use-modules ....
and
    (arguments '(#:modules
?

Should be one preferred over another? The latter creeps in core-updates :)
