Does it make sense to provide example/sample of manifests for
developing in the main languages?
And add advices in the manual? For example:

   guix package -m /etc/guix/minimal-opinionated-tools-for-C.scm
   guix package -m /etc/guix/minimal-opinionated-tools-for-Python.scm

Well, I do not know what the correct location for such "examples"
files. Folder /etc/? Other?
And with a better name than "minimal-opinionated-tools-for-".

WDYT?


All the best,
simon
