Im glad you found something different happening behind the scenes. I
only came to that conclusion because I loaded my own [default] geiser
repl with emacs-guix mode, and comparing that to the emacs-guix repl
that loads automatically.

Very cool that you found this. I would love to test this out, is there
any formal way to apply this and have emacs point to the test guix?
Sorry for novice questions, any info to do the work would be much appreciated.
