Would you have example use cases that cannot be done using the "profile default behaviour"? (Beside Emacs) With regard to the case of Emacs, I believe that if we fix multi-profile support, your script could be replace with a simple --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- GUIX_PROFILE=foo && . $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile && emacs --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Cool, nah? :) -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/
