If nothing matches files (like ls *.txt but no .txt files), expansion won't happen
For ls "*.txt", we don't see the error in the slides sadly :(
Document nix-env -iA nixpkgs.slides
Document type -a <command>
Note that expansion for --foo=~/bar doesn't happen, but for FOO=~/bar does

Might be good to add that we are specifically trying to learn "bash as a DSL for running binaries"
Mention time as a convenience rather than a gotcha
