I looked again, and I see that you _already_ marked all of the packages
'hidden' except for 'rust-cbindgen' itself. Perfect! Somehow I managed
to miss that on my first perusal of the code.
The only additional suggestion I'd make is to change 'define-public' to
'define' for all of these packages except for 'rust-cbindgen', to avoid
possible conflicts in modules that import both 'cbindgen.scm' and
'crates-io.scm'.
How about simply putting this file in (gnu packages rust-cbindgen) for
now, with the file header comment changed to match other files in Guix,
and with the trailing 'rust-cbindgen' at the bottom removed.
Would you like to do this? If not, I could do it.
Thanks again! This is a great help and an enormous relief to me.
Mark
