* `nix-store -q --tree' shows a tree representing the dependency graph
of the given derivation. Useful for getting a quick overview of how
something was built. E.g., to find out how the `baffle' program in
your user environment was built, you can do
$ nix-store -q --tree $(nix-store -qd $(which baffle))
Tree nesting depth is minimised (?) by topologically sorting paths
under the relation A < B iff A \in closure(B).
