Subject: Re: Collect guix profiles in single directory.

Proposal:
- Modify /etc/profile in Guix System to load everything in GUIX_PROFILE_DIR if
set. If not set, fall back on ~/.guix-profile.
- When GUIX_PROFILE_DIR is set, use GUIX_PROFILE_DIR/default as the
fault. Otherwise fall back to ~/.guix-profile if GUIX_PROFILE_DIR is
unset for backward compatibility.
- Add a "-P,--profile-name NAME" command line option that automatically derives
the profile path as $GUIX_PROFILE_DIR/$NAME. This would make it easy
to deal with frequently-used profiles from command line, e.g.
guix install -P my-gimpy-profile gimp
In the end, all the user needs to do to start using multiple profiles in
a convenient manner is to export GUIX_PROFILE_DIR.
I believe the above is fully backward compatible. If there is no
objection we can start working on a patch :)
