* nix-env -q now has a flag --prebuilt-only (-b<) that causes nix-env
  to show only those derivations whose output is already in the Nix
  store or that can be substituted (i.e., downloaded from somewhere).
  In other words, it shows the packages that can be installed “quickly”,
  i.e., don’t need to be built from source.
