Title says it all...

So, i've started using direnv with envrc.el, really great!

...which meant that on top op `guix shell' pestering me with its
shell-authorized-directories, I had to also type `direnv allow' all day.

Anyway, I found that direnv has a whitelist, prefix even; so I looked
into what guix shell might have and found that using

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
echo '-allow-all- > ~/.config/guix/shell-authorized-directories
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

acts like an undocumented whitelist prefix for /.

Find a fix attached.

Greetings,
Janneke
