Thanks too!

So the bash completion file has the wrong name, should we report it to
upstream? Is bash picky about the completion file name or is it just a
matter of style? I cannot test it since I am not using guixsd.

Currently, I need to put the following to my ".bashrc" to make bash
completion works:

if test "x$BASH" != "x"
then
    for bash_completion_file in \
        $(find -L \
               "/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d" \
               "$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/bash_completion.d" \
               "$HOME/.guix-profile/share/bash-completion/completions" \
               -type f)
    do
        . "$bash_completion_file"
    done
fi

But this makes bash slower to start. Should we put some instruction on
the manual?
