Ok I did, as suggested,
guix package -i guix
which I was afraid of, fearing some ouroboros strange loop destruction of
the universe;
fears unfounded, only curious effect was dozens or hundreds of

warning: collision encountered: /gnu/store/wfvxxpdhnzd59v ...
warning: arbitrarily choosing /gnu/store/wfvxxpdhnzd59vkad1z...

type messages. Otherwise, seems to work.

As suggested by Efraim Flashner  , add that command to the Binary install
instructions.

Now, about your fine manual, on http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/
we see "last updated November 04, 2015"
Please use a cronjob to update the manual nightly , or so, to the latest
version. The universe will thank you.
