This would need more work to allow replacement of Guix commands with an
extension.  For example, I may want to use an extension that replaces
“guix deploy” with a variant that can deploy to AWS, falling back to the
default “guix deploy” for all other deployments.

We should not prevent this use case, so at the very least this needs to
be configurable (though I’d be happier if we could come up with a
configuration-free solution).

A configuration-free alternative could be “guix ext pull” to explicitly
select the extension named “pull”.  There can be no conflicts with this
scheme, but it’s more work to type.
