I think we should not have too many commands to Guix, especially not with
similar behaviour, since this will make the tool too confusing. How about
adding command line options?

For instance:
1) Do not cache by default, cache when "--cache" is given.
2) Maybe even better, use "--cache=XXX" to cache under the name or number XXX.
3) Then later, add "--resume" or "--resume=XXX".

Or do something similar to "git stash", piling up environments on a stack
and popping or dropping them.

Andreas
