Description: Simplifies the creation of reproducible data science
        environments using the 'Nix' package manager, as described in
        Dolstra (2006) <ISBN 90-393-4130-3>. The included `rix()`
        function generates a complete description of the environment as
        a `default.nix` file, which can then be built using 'Nix'. This
        results in project specific software environments with pinned
        versions of R, packages, linked system dependencies, and other
        tools or programming languages such as Python or Julia.
        Additional helpers make it easy to run R code in 'Nix' software
        environments for testing and production.
