Strange, I don't have this variable in my environment. I use Emacs 26.3
and EXWM, I don't know if that makes a difference.

In my experience, colors worked perfectly before the INSIDE_EMACS switch
was introduced. I don't understand what this change tried to fix.
Maybe one fix broke something else.

This does not apply to all guix subcommands.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
env PAGER=cat guix search emacs
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
or
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
export PAGER=cat
guix search emacs
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
still displays the hint for me in M-x shell or Eshell.
Any idea?
