I also support adding a ‘/usr/bin/env’ service and even make it a default.

In my daily work, I have many scripts which do not care about which
version of sh/bash/python/python3 is used. These scripts are placed in
some (small) project's directory and there is absolutely no need for
"installing" them.

Another use-case is when developing software: E.g. scripts for
maintaining the vcs-contolled files, like updating the copyright year.
These scripts are managed by the version control system, shall run from
the development tree on envery developers machine and may not even get
installed when installing the software as a guix package.
