Neat trick!  Thanks for sharing.  I see that this relies on undocumented
behavior, which is the fact that each store directory in the
environment's closure gets bind-mounted read-only, and practically no
other files are visible in the container.  I had to peek inside
guix/scripts/environment.scm to figure that out.  Fun stuff :)

Should the bind-mount behavior when creating containers for an
environment also be documented in the manual, or was there a reason why
we didn't mention it there?
