‘guix system’ has a ‘--on-error’ command-line option that we could
perhaps generalize somewhat. WDYT?
Now, two comments:
1. importers are “for developers”, so I’m personally more tolerant if
they’re rough on the edges ;-)
2. one can always do:
./pre-inst-env guile
scheme@…> ,use(guix scripts import)
scheme@…> (guix-import "foo" "bar")
;; crash!
scheme@…>[1] ,bt
