We now have a `:doc` command (on the markdown branch), which can show the documentation for builtin functions: ``` $ nix repl Welcome to Nix version 3.0pre20200825_7a02865. Type :? for...

Attributes like `preferLocalBuild` *are* environment variables. That's how it has always worked. What problem is being solved here?
While undesirable, this is not a bug, not something we can fix in a backward compatible way, and not flake-specific.

Added a release note. IMHO this is ready to be merged.
This is related to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/509. We should move per-user data out of `/nix/var/nix` and into their home directories.
Can you check if the slow performance also happens with Nix 2.20 (`nix shell nix/2.20.6`)? It might be related to the Git-based tarball cache that we started using in 2.21.
On what distribution / architecture is this?
