Yippie! I'm really excited about this; and convinced that it'll greatly impact 
and improve the Guix project.

Here's a feature-request (in the long-run). But I'm not sure if I understand 
correctly that a new, improved Guix-daemon enables us to implement this. Sorry 
if I'm wrong. I'd like to be able to step through the build-process of a 
package phase-by-phase and see what changed after each phase by looking at the 
file-tree.
