+Along with ``guix.el'', GNU@tie{}Guix comes with ``guix-prettify.el''.
+It provides a minor mode for abbreviating store file names by replacing

+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This package provides minor-mode for prettifying Guix store file
+;; names — i.e., after enabling `guix-prettify-mode',
+;; '/gnu/store/72f54nfp6g1hz873w8z3gfcah0h4nl9p-foo-0.1' names will be
+;; replaced with '/gnu/store/…-foo-0.1' in the current buffer.  There is
+;; also `global-guix-prettify-mode' for global prettifying.
+
+;; To install, add the following to your emacs init file:
+;;
+;;   (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/dir-with-guix-prettify")
+;;   (autoload 'guix-prettify-mode "guix-prettify" nil t)
+;;   (autoload 'global-guix-prettify-mode "guix-prettify" nil t)
+
+;; If you want to enable/disable composition after "M-x font-lock-mode",
+;; use the following setting:
+;;
+;;   (setq font-lock-extra-managed-props
+;;         (cons 'composition font-lock-extra-managed-props))
