BTW, this use case is well-addressed via =E2=80=98guix environment --load=
=E2=80=99 as in
the GDB example at:

  https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Invoking-guix-environm=
ent.html

Alternately, one can define a =E2=80=98gdb-devel=E2=80=99 package in their
GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH and simply do:

  guix environment gdb-devel

Ludo=E2=80=99.
