Users who just want to use this on the command line should not have to figure out how to supply an appropriate haskell package set from nix.

I tried to build a docker image that included nix-thunk... that made it 4GB heavier. Yikes.

I believe this issue no longer applies as a user can use the command attribute.

Re: the closure size of haskell binaries produced by nix, yea :pensive: I have made a new issue to track it.
