Re: Bootstrap script only works with guix environment, not with guix shell

Hi,
As some extra info:
`guix shell` by default does what `guix environment --ad-hoc` did.
And `guix shell --development` is what `guix environment` was.

They are equivalent, but the flags might be confusing at the beginning!

Happy hacking!
