* It is now possible to add store derivations or paths directly to a
  user environment, e.g.,

    $ nix-env -i /nix/store/z58v41v21xd3ywrqk1vmvdwlagjx7f10-aterm-2.3.1.drv

  or 

    $ nix-env -i /nix/store/hsyj5pbn0d9iz7q0aj0fga7cpaadvp1l-aterm-2.3.1

  This is useful because it allows Nix expressions to be bypassed
  entirely.  For instance, if only a nix-pull manifest is provided,
  plus the top-level path of some component, it can be installed
  without having to supply the Nix expression (e.g., for obfuscation,
  or to be independent of Nix expression language changes or context
  dependencies).
