Well, this list of 'developer-inputs' seems a personal choice or could
be considered as 'recommended'.  Well, I am not convinced it would be
useful but maybe the right level is to add something to 'properties'.

Anyway.


Usually my workflow is:

    guix shell gdb lcov -D my-package

and if it is often the same set of packages, I use a manifest.
