Stabilising the new `nix` command line interface

Does that mean decouple flakes from nix develop, nix shell and possibly other subcommands? Especially nix shell is confusing as it seems to follow the pattern of moving from nix-* to nix subcommand, so one would assume it’s equivalent to nix-shell, but it isn’t. So it’s not clear if nix-shell is supposed to disappear or live along-side it.
