Indeed.

In the user environment yes, but not necessarily in the build
environment.

What NixOS does is that the system has /usr/bin/env and /bin/sh, but the
build environment only has /bin/sh.

Good idea.

I=E2=80=99ll commit these changes.

> you hate tab-completion?

That=E2=80=99s inherited from Nix.  My first reaction at the time was the s=
ame
as yours, but in practice, I found it convenient that only 3 or 4
characters are needed to disambiguate.

More importantly, I rarely type in /nix/store file names, let alone use
tab completion in there (it=E2=80=99s crowded!).

Thanks for your feedback!
