Hi

This could be solved by a new field in the package-record: (provides
'("list of commands provided"))

What do you think?

This could allow us to quickly let guile search the list of provided
commands and return the package name.

E.g. right now in my guixsd I have no "file" command. I have no idea
which package installs it. :p
