Each nix flake update command can only update either one or all inputs. This is worse than nix flake lock --update-input a --update-input b which did work.

Describe the solution you'd like

tbh nix flake update can just accept multiple inputs to update, it throws an error currently.

Describe alternatives you've considered

can run multiple commands but it's not as nice

Ah, oops, that's a regression I should have caught; I'll pick this up if I have time and someone doesn't get to it first

`nix flake lock --update-input meow` should tell you to use `nix flake update meow` #283
