Hi Andreas,

I agree with this design aesthetic. 

Personally, I like my software not too dumb and not too smart with a slight 
bias towards the smart.

Aren't these the current semantics of guix package transformations though? I'm 
just proposing shell syntax for them.

Anyways, just an idea. I'm brainstorming out loud ;() I realize that it might 
be bloat.

I'm fine with also not having them as per the design aesthetics mentioned above.
