I ran `M-x package-autoremove` that deleted `ts.el`, which wasn't listed in my
default.nix. Adding it...

I enjoyed using term-switcher so much that I ended up adopting vterm as my
primary terminal. After reaching for vterm as often as I did, I realized that I
would enjoy supporting cycling through instances, creating new instances,
deleting existing instances, renaming instances. Thus spawned vterm-mgt.el.
I'm particularly excited about the KBD to toggle between vterm instances and
source code buffers.

I removed most of the packages that I install with `nix-env`. You can view these
with `nix-env --query`. This is one small step in a grander project to migrate
entirely to a declarative config managed by Nix.

I'm in the midst of transitioning onto a few new tools.
My previous workflow just used `nix-env` to install *some* packages. I didn't
have a prescribed methodology for which packages I would install using `nix-env`
and which ones I would install using `sudo apt-get install`. Sometimes if a
package would be available in my aptitude repositories, I'd use that; other
times when it wasn't available I'd use `nix-env`. One complication about being
on gLinux intead of NixOS is that some packages (e.g. nixpkgs.terminator) is
available via `nix-env -iA nixpkgs.terminator`, but the installation won't
actually run on my gLinux. In these instances, I would install terminator from
the aptitude repositories.
Then @tazjin introduced me to his Emacs configuration that he builds using
Nix. What appealed to me about his built Emacs is that it worked as expected on
either a NixOS machine and on gLinux (and presumably on other non-NixOS machines
as well).
A setup towards which I'm working is to own one or a few NixOS machines whose
configurations are entirely managed with Nix. On devices like my work machines,
which cannot run NixOS, I can build as much of the software that I need using
Nix and attempt to minimize the ad hoc configuration either with shell scripts,
python, golang, or more Nix code... it's clear that I still don't have a clear
idea of how that part will work.
For now, I'm adopting nix, nix-env, lorri, direnv, and weening off of aptitude
as much as I can. Things are a bit messy, but my general trend feels
positive. Stay tuned for more updates.

- Prefer goimports to gofmt. goimports calls gofmt; it also adds and removes
dependencies.
- Assert the presence of goimports, godoc, godef
- KBD godef to M-.
- Support the M-x compile command for calling `go build -v`

I'm using a Makefile until I can remember the command:
```shell
> nix-env -f . -i
```
This will install (i.e. `-i`) any derivations instantiated from the Nix
expression resolvable by `-f`. Ideally the incantation will look something like
this:
```shell
> nix-env -f '<universe>' -iA emacs
```
Informing `nix-env` to install all of the derivations created by the expression
at attribute `emacs` in my `<universe>` repository. For now two things are
preventing this:
1. `emacs` isn't an attribute in my top-level expression defined in the
`default.nix`.
2. If I do add `emacs` as an attribute and call the above command, my usage of
`readTree` results in `pkgs` missing `.lib` and a few other stdlib commands
that are available in `(import <nixpkgs> {})`.
A fix for both of these should be forthcoming.

Moving all of my Emacs-related files into their own directory at the root of
this repository.
