Hi David!

Great suggestions all!  I use guix environment heavily and like it a
lot.

Wouldn't that be

    guix environment --cache --dependencies --load=guix.scm

I have been using an ugly hack to switch profiles (or environments; look
at $GUIX_ENVIRONMENT) in Emacs, see attached.  As discussed briefly on
irc yesterday are various ways this could go: use emacs-direnv, read the
manifest file in elisp, use guix repl to read it..etc
