reintroduce shortened `-E` form for `--expr` to new CLI |
In the past, it was possible to supply a shorter -E
flag instead of fully
specifying --expr
every time you wished to provide an expression that would
be evaluated to produce the given command's input. This was retained for the
--file
flag when the new CLI utilities were written with -f
, but -E
was
dropped.
We now restore the -E
short form for better UX. This is most useful for
nix eval
but most any command that takes an Installable argument should benefit
from it as well.
