Good morning!
It struck me this weekend that there is some difference in the command
structure for the different guix sub commands. For example:
guix package --list-generations
and
guix system list-generations
guix package has everything as an flag, but guix system (and guix home)
uses the concept of ACTION with options and arguments.
Perhaps the latter is clearer, and guix package should also follow the
same model?
