Hi,

This may have been useful with Guile 2.x but it’s useless with 3.0,
which already allows that:

Toggle snippet (9 lines)
scheme@(guile-user)> (version)
$9 = "3.0.7"
scheme@(guile-user)> (define (divide-minus-one a b)
(when (= b 1) (error "We don't allow that here"))
(define b* (- b 1))
(/ a b*))
scheme@(guile-user)>

So either we make the package depend on 2.x, or we drop it. Dropping it
is probably the best option if there are no dependents.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.

Oh, I didn’t know that, then I think it’s fine to drop the package.
