Ouch. “It used to be” (speaking like a veteran :-)) that Emacs in Guix
would not use EMACSLOADPATH. Then we switched to EMACSLOADPATH, which
had some advantages, but necessarily has this drawback.
IIUC, <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/45359> is about possibly
backtracking. Maxim, what’s the status of this one?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
