Fully agree.
Furthermore, '--ld-library-path' sounds like an inflexible alias of a nonexistent '--ad-hoc-search-path=FOO=/bar' option.
So why not instead write a cute little (name "LD_LIBRARY_PATH") fake package that does nothing but declare a search path for /lib? It could live in any channel rather than further fatten 'guix shell'.

I might be mistaken but I assumed this was more about running 'pre-existing' (cough cough nudge nudge) software not built from source.
