@deffn {Scheme Syntax} this-package
|

When used in the @emph{lexical scope} of a package field definition, this

identifier resolves to the package being defined.

The example below shows how to add a package as a native input of itself when

cross-compiling:

|
(package
|

|
(name "guile")
|

;; ...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
;; When cross-compiled, Guile, for example, depends on
|
||||||
|
;; a native version of itself. Add it here.

@deffn {Scheme Syntax} this-operating-system

When used in the @emph{lexical scope} of an operating system field definition,
