I think (guile-)gcrypt could very well benefit from having a better sexp construction API, but again that's outside the scope of Guix.
But since you're asking, I do feel there's a lot guile-gcrypt could borrow from Guix, just not right now in an efficient manner thanks to needing to jump through the sexp->canonical-sexp hoops. It could have semantic constructors and field sanitization à la (guix records) for example. WDYT?
