Choose when doing what? :-)

When running “guix shell” or “guix package”, it should warn.  It
doesn’t?  Ah?  I thought it does…  Hum?

When packaging, you choose: you use one module or the other, or both.
Guile tells you if there is a symbol clash, so then you resolve it by
using some #:prefix or #:hide at #:use-module.  Else you choose one
symbol or the other inside the package definition.

Cheers,
