Currently “guix show” is an alias of “guix package --show=” and we could
start to do the contrary, “guix package --show=” would be using “guix
show”.  Mainly for maintaining backward compatibility.  But “guix show”
could evolve this own way supporting options that would not be supported
by legacy “guix package --show=”.  WDYT?

It would avoid some headache. ;-)
