‘INSIDE_EMACS’ has always been honored by (guix colors).  Also, it’s
honored similar by all GNU tools and in particular Coreutils, which I
think is overall a good thing as Ricardo explained!

Now, it’s true that that there are cases where even shell-mode +
guix-build-log-mode doesn’t give you as much highlighting as ‘guix’
outside Emacs (for example for errors or highlights in all the
diagnostics.)  Perhaps we “just” need to enhance comint somehow!  :-)
