Yes.

Right.

Actually I think eventually (i.e., soon ;-)) we should add guix.el to
the Guix repo.  Among other things, that means that the Scheme code for
guix.el can be easily kept in sync with the (guix ...) API, which is
more difficult otherwise.

Once guix.el is in the repo, we can use substitutions as for
guix/config.scm to get the right directory names.

In addition, note that ‘guix pull’ populates ~/.config/guix/latest, so
this should come first in the search path (see scripts/guix.in on how it
fiddles with search path.)

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
