Very nice!  To make the code nicer, I suppose we could simply change it
to use the Geiser integration in emacs-guix.  We could call out to (guix
profiles) and (guix search-paths) and ‘setenv’ what it returns.

It might turn out to be more code that what you posted though, so your
solution is not that bad after all!
