This procedure is meant for @code{/bin/sh}, @code{/usr/bin/env} and
similar targets. In particular, use for targets under @code{/etc} might
not work as expected if the target is managed by Guix in other ways.
The special files persist on your system even after the
@code{extra-special-file} call has been removed from your system config
and the system has been reconfigured. The special files need to be
removed manually.
