This documents the fact that nix-build, nix-env, nix-instantiate, and
nix-shell accept an extended syntax for their file arguments, including
some well-known (but not well documented) aspects, like being able to
specify `<nixpkgs>`, but also https:// tarball URLs, `flake:` prefixed
flakerefs, and the cursed `channel:` prefixed hardcoded URLs
Same thing for the new CLI incoming :)

For systems that already have Nix installed, such as NixOS systems, read our install page
