I thought I would be able to send a working v2 of this patch today but
it seems I was too optimistic.

I found that some go.mod out there uses quoted string
which our ad-hoc parser don't know how to parse. cf.
https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml/blob/496545a6307b2a7d7a710fd516e5e16e8ab62dbc/go.mod

I don't know if this is a blocker for a merge or not.

Apart from that I don't know how to add guile-lib to the dependencies of
Guix (in order to use htmlprag). Help needed.

I tested it recursively with github.com/hashicorp/consul (which was one
of those with the most dependencies I found) and it mostly works.

Regards,
François
