Great!  Thanks for going the extra mile testing this, I didn't know how
familiar you were with the Guix development process.  We could also
advertise the simpler `guix time-machine` with the branches from [1],
although processing the new patch is not instantaneous (and I don't
think bug reports are scanned for patches).

In any case, I'll try to push it ASAP with some other changes!
