2013-12-14guix package: allow multiple arguments after -i, -r, and -u.Mark H Weaver
* guix/scripts/package.scm (%options): Adapt option processors to accept and return a second seed value: 'arg-handler', which handles bare arguments (if not false). The install, remove, and upgrade option processors return an arg-handler that repeat the same operation. All other option processors return #f as the arg-handler. Make the arguments to install and remove optional. The upgrade option processor deletes (upgrade . #f) from the alist before adding a new entry. (guix-package): Procedures passed to 'args-fold*' accept the new seed value 'arg-handler'. The 'operand-proc' uses 'arg-handler' (if not false). * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix package): Update docs. * tests/guix-package.sh: Add test.
