 There is also @kbd{M-x guix-build-log-minor-mode} which also provides
-the same highlighting.  And as it is a minor mode, it can be enabled in

-may enable @command{guix-build-log-minor-mode} to make it more colorful.
-Guix build output is rather specific, so this new highlighting shouldn't
-conflict with the existing one.  This mode also provides the same key
-bindings as the major mode, but prefixed with @kbd{C-c}.
