This does not add missing release notes, and it doesn't do anything
about the profiles feature we would really like to have so we can have
consistent credit.

| reintroduce shortened `-E` form for `--expr` to new CLI | 605 | Lunaphied | Improvements |
In the old CLI, 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.
