However, there=E2=80=99s currently no tool to declare the container paramet= ers, which is why your =E2=80=98.guix-deploy=E2=80=99 file above is essentially = a shell script. A long time ago Dave Thompson suggested having an (or similar) data type on top of , which would describe that sort of thing. Perhaps something to keep in mind for =E2=80=98guix shell=E2=80= =99?
