Hi John,

Oh, I see!  I wonder if it possible to have a more convinient

haskell-for-a-casual-developer like package or:

parameterize the command itself, say:
guix install ghc -option1=blah, -option2=blah,
and provide default options as well?

In the very least, a warning message explaining this after:
guix install ghc

Might do.

Lots of ideas :-)

Cheers,
yasu
