guix install hello -p foo
guix install emacs -p bar
eval $(guix package -p foo -p bar --search-paths=exact)
So it composes. However maybe not what you had in mind. ;-)

Yes, because "guix environment" cannot support "profile". As said,
IMHO you raised 2 interesting use cases:
1. create an environment based on a profile
2. pack an existing profile
Obviously "a profile" means the composition of profiles if any.

Patches are always welcome. :-)
