Re: Consider the package expr evaluates to.

[znavko]

'Expression is evaluated'??
Maybe better is 'the package that matches expression'?

'Consider' - here it means 'to use'. But dictionary meaning of 'consider' is 
'think about', 'regard' [1], so this is hard for understanding.

Guix Manual, in general, has simple language, good understanding, but sometimes 
its author cracks reader's mind.

Hope it will be rewritten and some sensual things (such as partitioning and 
typing Bios Grub config) will be added.
