I see now that this new functionality was added to the 'staging' branch
3 days ago:

  https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?h=staging&id=a247f5c7537df7e0c09051ba22d5c95eb08f48b9

It seems inappropriate for our online website manual to be taken from
'staging'.  It has already led to an experienced Guix developer
repeatedly suggesting (to a new user) a code snippet that cannot
possibly work on the 'master' branch:

  https://bugs.gnu.org/47748#14
  https://bugs.gnu.org/47748#41
