* Package conflict resolution through priority levels. If there is a
user environment collission between two packages due to overlapping file names, then a package with a higher priority will overwrite the symlinks of a package with a lower priority. E.g., $ nix-env --set-flag priority 5 gcc $ nix-env --set-flag priority 10 binutils gives gcc a higher priority than binutils (higher number = lower priority).
