Well, g-golf is deprecated by guile-g-golf here, so guile-g-golf is the
correct name..

In Guix program languages specified libraries are named with the
language as prefix, eg: python-six, perl-dbix-simple, and guile-g-golf.

It should be clear that for 'guile-g-golf' you would use g-golf as a
guile library for the current 'guile'; and for 'guile2.2-g-golf', you
would use g-golf as a guile library for 'guile-2.2'.
