gexp: 'scheme-file' can splice expressions.
* guix/gexp.scm (<scheme-file>)[splice?]: New field. (scheme-file): Add #:splice? and pass it to '%scheme-file'. (scheme-file-compiler): Pass SPLICE? to 'gexp->file'. (gexp->file): Add #:splice? and honor it. * tests/gexp.scm ("gexp->file + #:splice?"): New test. ("gexp->derivation & with-imported-module & computed module"): Use #:splice? #t.
