poppler package include glib as a native-input with "bin" output.
If I am doing the following: (package/inherit poppler (native-inputs (modify-inputs (package-native-inputs poppler) (replace "glib" my-glib)))) poppler's build will fail becuase replace syntax will replace "glib" package erasing its outputs. I can specify output explicitly by doing (replace "glib" (my-glib "bin")) in this case, but that makes mass input modification difficult (e.g. if i want to replace all instances of glib to my-glib). That said there is a value in having such behaviour for replace syntax in case for example if I replace package with my own version that has no extra outputs, so it would be nice to have both options available.
