* `nix-store -qb' to query derivation environment bindings. Useful
  for finding build-time dependencies (possibly after a build).  E.g.,

    $ nix-store -qb aterm $(nix-store -qd $(which strc))
    /nix/store/jw7c7s65n1gwhxpn35j9rgcci6ilzxym-aterm-2.3.1

* Arguments to nix-store can be files within store objects, e.g.,
  /nix/store/jw7c...-aterm-2.3.1/bin/baffle.

* Idem for garbage collector roots.
