I do not know.  I had similar issues though.

The plan of the documentation is discussed here:

   <https://yhetil.org/guix/86k0sekkj8.fsf@gmail.com>

This is really cool because “guix repl -- foo.scm arg1 arg2” can now be
really handy with “guix foo arg1 arg2”.  However, it is still
undocumented because we have not reached consensus with Ricardo. :-)
See the 3 thread emails starting there:

Well, about this GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATHS, as the author of “guix repl --”
your feedback is very welcome. :-)


Cheers,
