Oh my G…uix! O_o'

I started working on it yesterday, but stop after:

  gnu: Add python-pyproject-hooks.
  gnu: python-virtualenv: Update to 20.22.0.
  gnu: Add python-poetry-plugin-export.

*ERF*! Not even close! :-(

Or, I could write a Poetry v1.1.12 package definition in my channel.
Selfish, but efficient. Selfishient?!

No, I haven't tried! I don't even know if many packages actually depend
on `poetry`. I'm expecting dependencies on `python-poetry-core`.

I'll give it a try at the week end!
