From guix INFO:

6.2 Invoking ‘guix edit’
[...]
launches the program specified in the ‘VISUAL’ or in the ‘EDITOR’
environment variable to edit the recipe of GCC 4.8.4 and that of Vim."

TYPO:

"edit" (last line above) should be replaced with "view", "inspect", or
"examine".

RENAME:

Calling these functions 'guix edit' and 'M-x guix-edit' implies that the
user will be able to modify the recipe, but this is not actually the
case. The functions should be given a more informative and accurate
name, such as: 'guix view', 'guix inspect', or 'guix examine'.

MODE CHANGE:

In emacs, read-only .scm files should be opened in view-mode.
