MOUNTS is a list of <file-system> objects that specify file systems to mount
inside the container.  NAMESPACES is a list of symbols corresponding to
the identifiers for Linux namespaces: mnt, ipc, uts, pid, user, and net.  By
default, all namespaces are used.

HOST-UIDS is the number of host user identifiers to map into the container's
user namespace, if there is one.  By default, only a single uid/gid, that of
the current user, is mapped into the container.  The host user that creates
the container is the root user (uid/gid 0) within the container.  Only root
can map more than a single uid/gid.

GUEST-UID and GUEST-GID specify the first UID (respectively GID) that host
UIDs (respectively GIDs) map to in the namespace.

Note that if THUNK needs to load any additional Guile modules, the relevant
module files must be present in one of the mappings in MOUNTS and the Guile
load path must be adjusted as needed."
