Currently “guix show” is an alias of “guix package --show=” and we could start to do the contrary, “guix package --show=” would be using “guix show”. Mainly for maintaining backward compatibility. But “guix show” could evolve this own way supporting options that would not be supported by legacy “guix package --show=”. WDYT? It would avoid some headache. ;-) Cheers, simon
