I think snippets should not be available automatically.  Some really
hate snippets or prefer a different system over YASnippet.  The setup is
*very* simple if you’re already using yasnippet anyway: just add the
directory to “yas-snippet-dirs” and you’re done.

This is implemented as “guix refresh -u foo”.  It works for any package
that is covered by an updater.
