Does Guix want a system of aliases? For example, let the=20 > script > =E2=80=9C~/.config/guix/scripts/foo.scm=E2=80=9C and then =E2=80=98guix = foo=E2=80=99. I asked Guix and it said no, that's madness, sorry. I think I=20 agree. Letting packages like Julien's excellent guix-home-manager[0]=20 extend guix is interesting (once it works[1] :-). It feels natural enough and allows anyone on a =E2=80=98guix foo is=20 broken=E2=80=99 support call to =E2=80=98guix install guix-foo && guix foo= =E2=80=99 with=20 little trouble. Guix executing arbitrary scripts in ~/.config does neither. I'm unconvinced there's a use case that justifies reinventing=20 shell aliases in Guix, in a heavy-weight fashion, while=20 simultaneously not being =E2=80=98worth=E2=80=99 a real Guixtension package.
