Hi Ricardo,
About the precedence, i.e., extension that overrides default command,
see patch#45910.

I do not know, maybe I will change my mind after a good ol’ black
coffee. :-)
We could say that:
1. the prototype of GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH is path/to/guix
2. the folder /extensions is implicitly appended
3. ~/.config/guix is implicitly appended
The patch attached does that. But, the definition of the package ’guix’
needs to be tweaked (not done) in agreement, especially:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(native-search-paths
(list (search-path-specification
(variable "GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH")
(files '("share/guix/extensions")))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It is easy to filter out by adding rules in ’extensions-directories’. :-)

I see. Well, I need to fail myself to really understand…

I agree.
