I have also noticed that there is a standard variable and a `GUIX`-
prefixed variable? Like for example, `PYTHONPATH` versus
`GUIX_PYTHONPATH`. In this context, GUIX_LUA_PATH - is it okay in this
case? And why/why not?

(See
[example](https://git.sr.ht/~unwox/guix-pkgs/tree/master/item/unwox.scm#L400
))

Is there any particular case when I must avoid using `native-search-
paths`?
