Eeeh? I don't understand what you mean.

Nevertheless, `./guix-install.sh --dry-run --uninstall` would be nice.
However the script is over 800 lines long. In bash! :-(
IMO before increasing script complexity with a new feature, we should
rewrite it to some reasonable language, preferably Guile Scheme. Or at
least Python.
