First of all, thanks for putting this up. Some small usability issues that may or not be easy to solve:

1. Installing two packages didn't work: @reuse Unitful, StaticArrays.

julia> @reuse Unitful, StaticArrays
ERROR: `(Unitful, StaticArrays)` is not a valid package name
Stacktrace:
  [1] pkgerror(msg::String)
    @ Pkg.Types ~/.julia/jul

Ideally, as much as possible, it would be nice to have the syntax similar to that of using. (I don't expect that using Package: f could be used at this point, of course).

2. I guess improving the error message when the package is not available would be nice:

julia> @reuse CircleFit
ERROR: Unsatisfiable requirements detected for package CircleFit [a2741ea9]:
 CircleFit [a2741ea9] log:
 ├─CircleFit [a2741ea9] has no known versions!
 └─restricted to versions * by an explicit requirement — no versions left

(and given that the error is thrown with silent on, I would make silent() the default behavior.

3. Maybe if the directory of the new saved environment does not exist, it should create it? What happens if there is already a Project.toml in there? Is it overwritten (dangerous).

Otherwise this is pretty much what I was thinking. For me, at least, it will be very useful.

Makes it easier to use it...
