HI,

John Kehayias <john.kehayias@protonmail.com> skribis:

> As one who also would like a shorter syntax option, here's a quick thought: what about a short version of what we have for when there is only one package given or it can be applied to all packages/be a positional argument? An example is perhaps best, so what if we could write:

This should be possible.  We should check the option parsers and
transformation procedures in (guix transformations).

This I’m unsure; one might argue that it’s also ambiguous, I’d always
wonder what ‘--with-git-url’ applies to.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
