Apologies for the looong delay!

Hmm not great.  The only public API that would allow us to approximate
it is ‘lower-gexp’, but it requires access to the daemon, so it’s not
suitable.

Let’s keep it this way!

Maybe we should just change ‘package->json’ to always return a list of
JSON records (alists)?  That way, we would write:

  (append-map package->json (all-packages))

which I find slightly clearer.

WDYT?

Otherwise LGTM, thanks!
