Is is possible for Emacs to signal a warning when the required features are not found, but still continue loading the rest of the config?

It turns out setting NIX_STATE_DIR to "/usr/local/var/guix/" and making "~/.config/guix/latest" pointing to "~/scm/guix/" completely resolves the problem. So now only a oneliner is required: (require 'guix-autoloads '() t) Do you think it is a bug that Emacs-Guix does not set `guix-state-directory' correctly?
