extension for that.
Because once we introduce a subcommand, it is hard to change (see
'guix environment') and since Guix provides this great extension
mechanism, I think it is the path for this kind of niche use cases:
start with an extension and depending on the "popularity" and interest
then upstream.
Well, if you think this feature is great to have in Guix proper,
personally I would find more coherent:
guix package --create-manifest a b c --transform=whatever=else >
manifest.scm
Cheers,
simon
