Hi Pierre,

The variable is set by Emacs.  As an Emacs feature we should not
document it in Guix, nor should we rename it to GUIX_INSIDE_EMACS.

> - Leave colors on when inside Emacs.

Wouldn’t this mess with font lock in Emacs modes such as M-x shell?  My
colour theme has no place for a garish green :)

For prettier colours in Emacs we already have things like
guix-build-log-mode.

Isn’t it considered best practise to set PAGER=cat when using Emacs as a
shell?  That’s what I do to show man pages (when I’m not using M-x
woman) or to have “git log” do the right thing.
