darth-cheney asked in IRC if from inside a guix environment you would
install the packages instead of pip/node, and maybe having guix install
packages to current guix environment would be a good idea.
Possible issue would be how to change the current guix environment to
the new profile, without creating a nest of environments for every
`guix install` or `guix package -i`.

You don't have to source the environment again if it was
source with GUIX_PROFILE defined.
I have some notes about this on my Gemini memex that go into more
detail:
gemini://blobpat.space/memex/guix.gem
http proxy in case you don't have a Gemini client at hand:

You can also add things to your current environment with
source <(guix environment --search-paths bleep-bloop --ad-hoc whatever)

Hi,
This could be trouble. Sometimes, when I'm hacking on Guix in an
environment created using `guix environment guix`, I install a package
to my main user profile using `./pre-inst-env guix install ...`. The
behaviour you suggest would interfere with this.
Regards,
Arun
