That sounds interesting.  What does it mean?  Would it help me figure
out which commands come from which package?

A feature I remember being cool they had enabled by default on Ubuntu
back in the day was:

  $ crawl-tiles
  Not found.  Maybe "sudo apt-get install crawl-tiles"?

So for us:

  $ crawl-tiles
  Not found.  Maybe "guix package -i crawl-tiles"?

The curious thing about this though... it seems to require knowledge of
the *outputs*.

To invoke this manually, a user could type:

  # Queries curiass or some sort of build system, similar to guix weather
  $ guix search --binary crawl-tiles
  Found in:
   - crawl-tiles

Oh wow!  I'm going to give this a try.

I'll add one that I *should* finish: I should get the setuid stuff
done.  IIRC it's like, two minor tweaks away from being done and
bitrotting... I've been busy...

Maybe I could do it towards the end of the following week?  Would be
good to get the damned thing done... and then finally get postfix in,
too.
