// Popcount fetches popularity information for each store path in a
// given Nix channel from the upstream binary cache.
//
// It does this simply by inspecting the narinfo files, rather than
// attempting to deal with instantiation of the binary cache.
//
// This is *significantly* faster than attempting to realise the whole
// channel and then calling `nix path-info` on it.
//
// TODO(tazjin): Persist intermediate results (references for each
// store path) to speed up subsequent runs.
