argument and the result of applying @code{compose} to the extension
values as the second argument. It must return a value that is a valid
parameter value for the service instance.
@item @code{description}
This is a string, possibly using Texinfo markup, describing in a couple
of sentences what the service is about. This string allows users to
find about the service through @command{guix system search}
(@pxref{Invoking guix system}).
@item @code{default-value} (default: @code{&no-default-value})
The default value associated for instances of this service type. This
allows users to use the @code{service} form without its second argument:
@lisp
(service @var{type})
@end lisp
The returned service in this case has the default value specified by
@var{type}.
@end table
