As reported by Ludovic on IRC, -E is not --expose, but --preserve.
There's no short option for --expose.

Closing!

Hello,

I just encountered a situation where -E is not correctly parsed/used and
ignore silently.

Reproducer:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix shell -CD igraph -E /gnu=/gnu strace
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The above doesn't work (there are far too few entries to /gnu/store, it
isn't shared).

This works:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix shell -CD igraph --expose=/gnu=/gnu strace
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks,
Maxim
