I would like to request that each guix command have the option at least (if not automatic like it is for Gentoo's Portage package manager) to log all output to a file. I believe this will help both users and developers deal with bugs and alike in the package manager. I realize people can already log all output using redirection like with: COMMAND > output.log 2>&1 but with this method no output is shown at the command-line so users can't track what guix is doing in real-time.
