It will be very useful and convenient if we can run goss ...

briefly "goss validate" (not "goss -g /some/long/path validate", not "GOSS_FILE=.. //")
from different users (root+deploy user + developer + tester + ...)
with unique and full goss file, deployed somethere in /etc/, not duplicating this file to all this users .goss, not

Please!

Let by default, if no GOSS_FILE defined, not "-g" specified, not "~/.goss" exists, let get "/etc/goss/goss.yaml" (or something like that) by default.

There is a very simple and powerful workaround, just install your's 'goss' script, sample from us:

me@host:~$ cat /usr/bin/goss
#!/bin/bash
# HEADER: managed by puppet, do NOT edit manually!

/usr/bin/goss_0.3.4 -g /etc/goss/goss.yaml $@
me@host:~$

In this case you can have multiply goss versions "installed" on the same host (migration period to ensure new version is running well). Also you can call "goss v" only ;-)

Have fun!

I'd rather this be explicitly set by the user so it's clear which Goss file is being executed.
