It would be best to avoid duplicating this phase since the only
difference is the version number. However, this is currently
inconvenient, so it’s probably fine to keep it, with an “XXX” comment.
To fix it, we’d have to arrange for the phase to stand alone as opposed
to getting the Lua version number from the “host side”. So it would be
written along the lines of:
(lambda …
(let* ((lua (assoc-ref inputs "lua"))
(lua-version (extract-version lua)))
…))
The Python stuff uses a similar pattern. The ‘extract-version’ thing is
necessarily hacky and brittle though.
Alternately, we could pass the info as an environment variable,
something that’s not done anywhere yet.
