What would happen on the top-level of the Guix source tree or deep
inside the tree of a guile package that deals with manifests, that
aren't necessarily related to Guix?  I think we should try searching
for something less ambiguous first (".guix-shell/manifest" perhaps?)
and maybe also provide further options after manifest.scm (e.g. build-
aux/guix.scm or etc/guix.scm)

WDYT?
