Sure, understood!

My initial reaction was that we shouldn’t stretch ‘guix environment’ to
do something that’s unrelated to environment management.
However as I looked at your patches, I found that the additions you made
are useful per se (for instance I’ve been wanting ‘--link-profile’ on a
couple of occasions for reasons like the one you gave, Fontconfig,
etc.). And the patches had tests, documentation, and everything, so it
seemed more beneficial to include them. :-)

OK!

Sure. I think the issue of least-authority execution of programs
remains open anway. Do we want a ‘guix run’-like command? Something in
the shell, but which shell(s) then? Automatically-generated wrappers so
we don’t depend on specific shells?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
