But if you do “guix archive --export-docker-image=foo emacs”, then Emacs
is protected from GC for the dynamic extend of ‘with-store’ in
‘guix-archive’.

Also, in practice, the ‘list-runtime-roots’ helper will notice the file
name in the arguments to ‘guix archive’ and will make it a GC root.

So that does not introduce any difference compared to the existing
behavior, I think.
