* Package conflict resolution through priority levels. If there is a
user environment collission between two packages due to overlapping
file names, then a package with a higher priority will overwrite the
symlinks of a package with a lower priority. E.g.,
$ nix-env --set-flag priority 5 gcc
$ nix-env --set-flag priority 10 binutils
gives gcc a higher priority than binutils (higher number = lower
priority).
