Oh, right.  I forgot about ad-hoc environments and “guix environment
-l”.

I’m mostly using “guix environment” with a single package name, and for
that purpose it would be nice if I could make the shell prompt indicate
for what package this environment was created.  I guess “t” as a value
for “GUIX_ENVIRONMENT” will have to do then.
