* 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).
