TYPO: "edit" (last line above) should be replaced with "view", "inspect", or "examine". RENAME: Calling these functions 'guix edit' and 'M-x guix-edit' implies that the user will be able to modify the recipe, but this is not actually the case. The functions should be given a more informative and accurate name, such as: 'guix view', 'guix inspect', or 'guix examine'. MODE CHANGE: In emacs, read-only .scm files should be opened in view-mode.
