It works on GuixSD, because /etc/profile sets ASPELL_CONF, so if this
patch will be accepted, I think 'operating-system-etc-service' from (gnu
system) module should also be adjusted.

Just to clarify: what if I would like to run aspell with my own
ASPELL_CONF.  Will it work or will this default value override my own?
I mean I want to run aspell like this:

  ASPELL_CONF=<something> aspell

Will aspell be started with my <something>?
