Well, I have some patches that rename to “guix file”. :-)

Well, ’guix locale’ appears to me also fine.

I have an unpolished stuff that do:

    guix file --index=TYPE
    guix file foo bar

Somehow, “guix file <terms>” the default action (= search).  And then
some action with --action (as index or else).

I have started… but I am not very far. :-)

Maybe also remove some “debug” code, no?
