Thanks to Ricardo and Guillaume, who pointed out the =E2=80=93profile optio= n to "guix shell", which does exactly what I need. I missed it because it is not mentioned in the manual.

Thanks to Vagrant for pointing out that "guix pull" has a =E2=80=93profile option as well (which I wasn't aware of). This can indeed serve as a workaround, although it looks a bit clumsy. Cheers, Konrad.
