bug#47911: Improving the package outputs UI

Another idea I had is to make Guix accept the concatenation of
packagename-output in the UI.

I'm firmly against this (but read on :-)

But maybe that is going too far, I'm not sure.

For example, `guix install git-send-email`, instead of `git:send-email`.

I think it is, but the intention is good.



 ~ λ guix install git-send-email
 guix install: error: git-send-email: unknown package
 hint: Did you mean one of:
 git:send-email

Kind regards,

Instead, Guix could suggest (‘did you mean...?’) like it does for commands.
