Like Guile. Initially I added this field for this purpose:
(self-native-input? #t)
But what you did is better, and is enough to get rid of
???self-native-input????.
However, the patch doesn???t apply on ???master???. Could you check
what???s going on?
Also, make sure the commit log specifies the changes (like ???Add
???native-inputs??? field???) rather than the rationale (info "(standards)
Change Log Concepts").
Thanks,
Ludo???.
