Thanks! > But what is make-user-module doing, and is it necessary? I looked into the Guix source and reproduced what "guix package -m" does to load a manifest file. Make-user-module procedure appear to be used in Guix to dynamically create modules for running user code. I could have simply used "load" here, but then all the files would be loaded in the same environment and could potentially interfere with each other. -- Mikhail
