`flake-compat` is not compatible with Nix Flakes

[9999years]

Since https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat/commit/0f9255e01c2351cc7d116c072cb317785dd33b33, default.nix has used builtins.storePath, which is not available in pure evaluation mode (e.g. when used in a Flake).

This makes it challenging to use flake-compat to incrementally migrate to Nix flakes.
