If I want this then I usually write a guix.scm file, and use "guix shell
-Df guix.scm" to enter my shells, and "guix build" to make sure it
builds. This also makes sure that the build and test instructions work.

In reality, I most often enter my shells using direnv[1]/envrc.el[2], so
that makes --pure and --container much less appropriate.
