+ (body
+ (en "Package transformation options such as @option{--with-branch},
+@option{--with-input}, and so on now apply to implicit inputs---previously
+only a package's explicit inputs would be affected. This allows for things
+such as replacing the Python dependency of a package that uses
+@code{python-build-system}:
+
+@example
+guix install --with-input=python=python2 python-itsdangerous
+@end example
+
+Another example is grafting a different version of the GNU C
+Library (@code{glibc} is an implicit input of almost all the packages and is
+``deep down'' in the dependency graph):
+
+@example
+guix build --with-graft=glibc=glibc@@2.31 hello
+@end example
+
+Run @command{info \"(guix) Package Transformation Options\"} for more
+info.")))
