This section of the documentation seems innacurate,
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-home.html#index-home-generations
> When specifying a negative value such as -1, you must precede it with -- to prevent it from being parsed as an option. For example:
>
> guix home switch-generation -- -1
Running the same command here gives the following result
> $ guix home switch-generation -- -1
>
> guix home: error: -1: extraneous command
Instead, `guix home roll-back` and `guix home switch-generation +1` can be used.

Hi,
>> $ guix home switch-generation -- -1
>> guix home: error: -1: extraneous command
Indeed, the command-line parser seems incorrect and inconsistent with
the documentation.
The culprit seems the procedure ’parse-args’ from ’guix-home’ command
inside the module (guix scripts home).
Hum, I guess something as the attached patch should fix the issue.
