Ouch. =E2=80=9CIt used to be=E2=80=9D (speaking like a veteran :-)) that E= macs in Guix would not use EMACSLOADPATH. Then we switched to EMACSLOADPATH, which had some advantages, but necessarily has this drawback. IIUC, is about possibly backtracking. Maxim, what=E2=80=99s the status of this one? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
