I think there might be some commands like arcan and date (from
coreutils) which you might have to hard-code to comply with Guix
packaging practices.  If you want to allow the user environment to
shadow them, you could make use of the following shell snippet:

  if [ -n "$(command -v THE_COMMAND 2>/dev/null)" ]; then
    THE_COMMAND="THE_COMMAND"
  else
    THE_COMMAND="@THE_COMMAND_STORE_PATH@"
  fi

and then refer to THE_COMMAND via "${THE_COMMAND}" elsewhere.

Cheers
