Sorry, sarcastic was not what I mean.  Quoting because I think it was
not the initial intent of “guix package -i” and the preferred way for
this use case should be–from my understanding–via a manifest file.

So I consider (considered?) that more as a bug than a feature.  Well,
the quoting was not sarcasm but surprise, as in «ah? that’s not a bug…
hm ok, it is a feature». :-)

Cheers,
simon
