How do you get the store path in the first place?

…what is missing is a way to provide an expression to “guix package” or
“guix install”.  Something like,

    guix install --expression='(@@ (gnu packages rust) rust-1.65)'


Indeed, it costs nothing to document the “feature” as you, Abhishek, are
proposing. :-)
