On the other hand, this could all be done outside guix. I went ahead
and did it for myself, because I have wanted it for a couple of days.
function genv() {
GUIX_ENVIRONMENT=$* guix environment "$@"
}
function __genv_ps1() {
local format=$1;
[ -v GUIX_ENVIRONMENT ] || return
[[ -z $format ]] && format=" (%s)"
printf "$format" "$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT"
}
... and then just chuck a $(__genv_ps1) somewhere in your favorite
$PS1 definition.
