nix-shell: Add --packages flag
...
This allows you to easily set up a build environment containing the
specified packages from Nixpkgs. For example:
$ nix-shell -p sqlite xorg.libX11 hello
will start a shell in which the given packages are present.

nix-instantiate: Add a flag --expr / -E to read expressions from the command line
...
This is basically a shortcut for ‘echo 'expr...' | nix-instantiate -’.
Also supported by nix-build and nix-shell.

nix-shell: Execute shellHook if it exists
...
Since normal builds don't execute shellHook, this allows nix-shell
