Hi Guix,

From the fennel man page:

       -v, --version
              Print the version number and exit

However, only the long options seems to work:

jackhill <at> alperton ~ [env]$ fennel --version
Fennel 0.8.1 on Lua 5.3
jackhill <at> alperton ~ [env]$ fennel -v
runtime error: -v: No such file or directory
stack traceback:
  [C]: in function 'assert'
  ...tore/lgaycpzwfair15b4m1lvzjim0gv3l0gp-profile/bin/fennel:3630: in function ?
  [C]: in function 'xpcall'
  ...tore/lgaycpzwfair15b4m1lvzjim0gv3l0gp-profile/bin/fennel:4036: in function ?
  [C]: in ?

Other short options, like -h, do work. This isn't that annoying a problem, 
but I wonder if it presents some problem with out fennel package.

I'm using Guix commit 58d96474bdc355619890f85bf6095a79074f6ee8

Best,
Jack

This is an upstream bug in fennel. It was fixed today, but not released 
yet [0]. It seems like a minor annoyance, so I think it's okay to wait 
until the next release.

And indeed it was fixed, both upstream and in Guix! We just neglected to 
close this issue, so I'm doing that now, yay!

Best,
