I had a tiny patch that export ’package-environment-inputs’ as
’inputs-of’ and used it to create profiles. But my motivation had been
killed by bug#38529.  And now, it is rare that I need it and I use:

  guix time-machine -C channels -- environment foo --ad-hoc bar

because it is really rare that I need the dependencies of more that one
package.  Anyway!  It could be nice to have.


Maybe this function could go to the module imported by manifest.  WDYT?


All the best,
