Patch file is attached.  Disclaimer that I am the author of the 
upstream package.

Even though Guix does not (to the best of my knowledge) currently 
support macOS, I left the paragraph about behavior in macOS in the 
description because cross-platform support for users of multiple 
operating systems was one of my primary motivations for writing 
the package.

Thank you.

I suggest to eschew the problem and stick to the first sentence of the
description:

  This package provides platform-specific paths for reading and writing
  configuration, cache, and other data.

I think this is enough to understand what the package is about without
looking at the gory details.

WDYT?

Regards,
