I asked Guix and it said no, that's madness, sorry.  I think I 
agree.

Letting packages like Julien's excellent guix-home-manager[0] 
extend guix is interesting (once it works[1] :-).

It feels natural enough and allows anyone on a ‘guix foo is 
broken’ support call to ‘guix install guix-foo && guix foo’ with 
little trouble.

Guix executing arbitrary scripts in ~/.config does neither.

I'm unconvinced there's a use case that justifies reinventing 
shell aliases in Guix, in a heavy-weight fashion, while 
simultaneously not being ‘worth’ a real Guixtension package.

Kind regards,

T G-R
