Example: (use-modules (guix) (gnu packages base)) loads the modules named (guix) and named (gnu packages base). See #2. Since all the packages are defined in modules (gnu packages FOO) then it is very common to write (gnu packages emacs-xyz) or (gnu packages bioconductor) or etc. then =E2=80=99use-package-modules=E2=80=99 provides a= shortcut; other said, (use-package-modules emacs-xyz bioconductor) is equivalent to: (use-modules (gnu packages emacs-xyz) (gnu packages bioconductor)) > Finally, I have invested over 40 hours reading the manual and other > supporting material.=C2=A0 So, for the "RTM" crowd, I think that time > investment reflects a commitment to learn and understand the Guix > system.

Thanks for your effort and perseverance! Your feedback is very valuable and I hope that it could help in improving the manual by connecting some missing dots. Cheers, simon
