I gave it a go but did not get that far. :p

This patch errors out with:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix install
ice-9/boot-9.scm:3356:22: Syntax error:
/home/sdb/guix-tree/guix/scripts/install.scm:31:2: define-module: 
expected keyword arg in subform (guix-install) of (define-module (guix 
scripts install) #:use-module ((guix ui) #:hide 
(display-profile-content)) #:use-module (guix scripts) #:use-module 
(guix scripts package) (guix-install))

I do not understand how args work. Is this documented somewhere?

Also I do not understand this form:

(define (guix-describe . args)
                  ^
What is the role of the dot?

I'm probably in way over my head here :D
