Hello,

This change makes things like:

  guix build --with-input=guile=guile-next guix -n --no-grafts

more useful and tractable.

Low-level rewrites are still possible for packages not marked
as hidden in 'commencement.scm', such as glibc:

  guix build --with-latest=glibc hello -n

Thoughts?

Ludo'.

Ludovic Courtès (2):
  packages: Use SRFI-71 instead of SRFI-11.
  packages: 'package-input-rewriting/spec' ignores hidden packages.

LGTM, and tested fine.
