In general we cannot use #:select for (gnu packages …) modules because
that doesn’t play well with circular module dependencies.

That said… what problem is this fixing raingloom?

Usually, circular top-level references lead things like ‘guix show
chez-scheme’ (this amounts to loading (gnu packages chez)), but it
worked fine for me.

Thanks,
