I mean the correct way is to write a TOML parser, probably using PEG.
As it is done with the other importers.
It is a piece of work. Not especially hard but it could take some time.
So instead, the question is, using a bit of Julia glue and Guile glue,
is it possible to extract the necessary information to have a Guix
package?
Well, maybe these glue code is the same as writing a TOML parser. :-)

Fun!
One thing is how to deal with ’Manifest.toml’. And pre-compiled
substitutes do not make too much sense in the Julia world. Well, I do
not know how these Manifest.toml overlap with how Guix works.
