+Sometimes it is desirable to isolate the environment as much as
+possible, for maximal purity and reproducibility. In particular, when
+using Guix on a host distro that is not GuixSD, it is desirable to
+prevent access to @file{/usr/bin} and other system-wide resources from
+the development environment. For example, the following command spawns
+a Guile REPL in a ``container'' where only the store and the current
+working directory are mounted:
