allow switching between them (NIX-80).

  Example: two versions of Pan:

    $ nix-env -q pan
    pan-0.128
    pan-0.14.2.91

    $ readlink $(which pan)
    /nix/store/l38jrbilw269drpjkx7kinhrxj6fjh59-pan-0.14.2.91/bin/pan

  At most one of them can be active any given time.  Assuming than
  0.14.2.91 is active, you can active 0.128 as follows:

    $ nix-env --set-flag active false pan-0.14.2.91
    $ nix-env --set-flag active true pan-0.128

    $ readlink $(which pan)
    /nix/store/nziqwnlzy7xl385kglxhg75pfl5i936n-pan-0.128/bin/pan

  More flags to follow.
