Hello Simon,

as far as I understand emacs is already packaged with tree-sitter
support in Guix (I didn't know this when I wrote my last message).

Regarding packaging emacs packages that leverage tree-sitter, one just
has to provide the correct emacs version as an argument, like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; ...
(arguments
`(#:emacs ,emacs-next-pgtk
 ;; ...
))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks to Andrew Troping for showing me that.
