There was some consensus that ‘guix environment --container’ could have an option to create /usr/bin/env: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-11/msg00527.html ‘--expose’ already allows this, so essentially we’d provide a shorter option and take ‘env’ from the current ‘coreutils’ package—similar to how /bin/sh links to the current ‘bash’ already. How does that sound? Ludo’.
