Allow things like `nix build /nix/store/...-foo.drv!dev`. This is especially useful for ca derivations (because this is the canonical way of refering to the outputs of ca derivations), but is also generally useful for consitency − for example it means that `nix build $(nix-instantiate ./foobar.nix)` will always work − barring any GC interaction.

We should document this syntax somewhere. Currently I don't think it is (since it was mostly a hack to get multiple outputs to work between nix-instantiate and nix-build). |

I think you meant #4543, but either way, thanks. |
Yes thanks. Edited the comment to rectify |
