By the way, it might be nice to have an option to list the secondary
outputs of a package explicitly alongside the normal, as if it were just
another package.

So far the concept of outputs and how they're usually hidden from me has
only caused me (minor) irritations, and I don't really understand why we
can't just make them separate packages, but I'm ignorant on most Guix
internals so might just not be "getting" it.
