“guix shell” in Guix checkout prints backtrace
(address . bug-guix@gnu.org)

When running “guix shell” in a source checkout of Guix prints a
backtrace:

Toggle snippet (41 lines)
$ guix shell
guix shell: loading environment from '/home/rekado/dev/gx/utf/guix.scm'...
hint: Consider passing the `--check' option once to make sure your shell does not clobber environment variables.

Backtrace:

That’s probably because “guix.scm” doesn’t return a package. It’s not
an environment definition, so it’s expected that this doesn’t work. But
this backtrace is pretty ugly. It would be nicer to bail if guix.scm
doesn’t evaluate to a package value.
