Are you sure?  I just tried this and it didn't work.  When I evaluate
this expression in Guile, I see:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> (@ (gnu packages package-management) guix)
$1 = #<package guix@0.11.0 gnu/packages/package-management.scm:71 3345c00>
scheme@(guile-user)> 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Regardless, I appreciate you mentioning the -e option; that is useful to
know, and it highlights the difference between the name of the variable
used to refer to the package object and the name of the package, which I
often forget are not the same.
