Yeah, I also mentioned this inconsistency, but I decided to stick to the
'guix system' approach and use subcommands.  I'm not sure, which one is
better, I would like to have pull, package and system to work the same
way, but it seems that such refactoring will berak people setups.
Anyway, I will be keeping the "compatibility" with 'guix system', so if
we decide to change its interface, 'guix home's interface will be
changed too.
