hi,
WDYT of a `guix remove` flag that is like sed -i that removes the package from the module it is in?
It is like `sed -i` but works on guix packages/sexps themselves.
For example, I as the user would be able to do the following
`guix remove -i chezmoi` and it would remove the chezmoi package cleanly from gnu/packages/configuration-management.scm:31:2
If I also pass in the -r flag then it will also remove all the direct dependencies of chezmoi.
Might be cool and powerful to be able to have a flag to remove dependents as well.
I realize that this better serves the particular use cases of a channel like Guix 'R Us that is constantly needing to remove packages that it has upstreamed in an efficient manner. Still, this would be cool functionality to have.
