Thank you! Exactly that.
Well, 'derivers' is not common -- from my poor English knowledge and
in the Guix vocabulary -- so please fin attached a tiny patch that
mentions .drv in "guix gc --help" and 'delivers, derivation' to the
index. I do not know if it makes sense but if I was too lazy to find
it, I bet that I am not the only one. ;-)
All the bets,
