While pursuing a solution to another problem I saw some documentation which 
inspired me to question whether it is possible to have an operating-system 
configuration which injects itself into the /etc/config.scm file.

Currently the content of my /etc/config.scm file reflects the state of system 
upon installation, as I had always used my git repository to manage the system 
configuration files.

I have already built the infrastructure to host my configurations on my home 
server.  I would like now to ditch the configuration repositories' clones in 
the home directories on my computers and rely entirely on the combination of 
the system-wide channels (this I have implemented) and the /etc/config.scm 
file.

Is there a way to have 'guix pull' edit the /etc/config.scm file to mirror the 
designated system configuration file? I assume that any module imports are 
handled by an existing guix infrastructure, because I had no need to use the
-L switch during reconfigurations for a while.
