substituting for (obvious, really).
* For greater efficiency, nix-pull/unnar will place the output in a
path that is probably the same as what is actually needed, thus
preventing a path copy.
* Even if a output id is given in a Fix package expression, ensure
that the resulting Nix derive expression has a different id. This
is because Nix expressions that are semantically equivalent (i.e.,
build the same result) might be different w.r.t. efficiency or
divergence. It is absolutely vital for the substitute mechanism
that such expressions are not used interchangeably.
value; this potentially dangerous feature enables better
sharing for those paths for which the content is known in
advance (e.g., because a content hash is given).
* Fast builds: if we can expand all output paths of a derive
expression, we don't have to build.
* A function to find all Nix expressions whose output ids are
completely contained in some set. Useful for uploading relevant Nix
expressions to a shared cache.
