Hi,

Seeing as guix is becoming more and more complete, it would be great to 
have 'command-not-found' [1] or similar available, so that typing in the 
name of an uninstalled binary begets a suggestion on which package(s) to 
install, like Ubuntu gives:

$ gitk
The program 'gitk' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install gitk

The database for this I imagine could be generated by hydra, no?

I note that ruby 2.3 comes with this implemented for method names which 
I find to be quite handy too.

Thanks,
ben
