Ah, yep, I've fixed this now.

I've added an entry in to .dir-locals.el, but unless I've missed
something, (guix read-print) doesn't handle with-store so maybe we need
to add with-store and with-store/non-blocking.

Great, I've pushed to 3db1a8341c815af3673c367518fbb193f5592864 and I can
follow up with the (guix read-print) changes and updating the guix
package later.

Thanks,

Chris
