The attached patch does that only for ’package->recutils’ (show and
search). For instance, note the ’replaced’ field for the grafted
package. (Obviously, it could be any other word than ’replaced’
compatible with the recutils record.)

On my machine, it slows down from 0.5s to 0.8s; I do not know why.
How display such information for ’package -A’? The (selected) output
looks like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
zstd 1.4.9 out,lib,static gnu/packages/compression.scm:1473:2
zstd 1.4.4 out,lib,static gnu/packages/compression.scm:1402:2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And it appears to me hard to add another field or add something to the
’1.4.4’ line. I mean, it would probably break some script. Maybe some
people use this format to pipe. I do not know.
WDYT?
Cheers,
simon
