I can add rust:cargo but the package definition in the guix.scm is already using `cargo-build-system` shouldn't it include rust and cargo etc automatically?

Sorry, this is my first time using some mailing list.
I tried using `--container` and `--emulate-fhs` first it doesn't seem
to use `guix.scm` automatically I have to specify it using
`--file=guix.scm`. Second, the container is missing so much more stuff
like cargo for example.
Yes, that's a somewhat surprising behavior designed to avoid bad
surprises, in that if you start using arguments with 'guix shell', the
'do what I mean' magic is cancelled and you need to explicit each
arguments.
About cargo missing, what prevents you from adding rust:cargo to your
guix.scm file?
This is my own project in Rust lang, I basically define `guix.scm` for
all my projects since I started using Guix.
I guess this being rust everything is statically compiled, and the usual
dynamic loader is not useful here (the RUNPATH baked in elf binaries is
not used).
