+1 to this. It would provide symmetry with the `--whole-file` option added to `guix style` a month ago in commit a15542d26df42dabdb5e2f76d150ae200230c3b0, and there have been times in the past where having the option for both would have been handy instead of having to call the tool for each package name in a file. (I also see potential for the file-wide option in the future for transformations that wouldn't work on a per-package basis, e.g. cleaning up unused module imports).

Cheers,
Kaelyn

I would prefer -m/--manifest first. :-)
