great!  I missed it (v. 0.5.0 released few hours ago [1]); thank you for
the patch to the Guix package!

Thank you for the explanation, it's very valuable since this new feature
is not well documented on the pien online manual at
https://docs.kyleam.com/piem/
(e.g. https://docs.kyleam.com/piem/Lisp-Function-Index.html mentions
piem-debbugs-mode but no other documentation is found)

Happy hacking! Gio'
