But that's the point. Simply adding an extension – whether an example
or an actually useful one – doesn't teach users how to use them. It's
missing this very information among other things.

In case you really didn't know how to use extensions with guix shell,
it's guix shell guix your-extension -- guix blah, assuming your
extension works with a slightly older guix.
