Thank you for pointing me there. I never knew that `nix-shell` accepts these flags. You actually don't even need to create the `gcroots` directory before. `nix-shell` will create it if necessary > So this maybe makes you command redundant (although less obsucure than > this commands). Maybe is worthwhile document this behaviour & simplify > the flags to nix-shell to obtain this result? Documenting it would probably already go a long way. Is there any reason why it is not mentioned in the man-page, yet?
