Describe the bug

This works:

$ nix run -f '<nixpkgs>' re2c -- --version
re2c 3.1

This does not:

$ nix run --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; re2c' -- --version
error: attribute '--version' in selection path '--version' not found
       Did you mean version?

Expected behavior

I think both should work.

nix-env --version output

nix-env (Nix) 2.17.0
