I think it's much better to have the flake.nix call into generic code
than having a wrapper around flake.nix — flake.nix files are often very
long with a lot of levels of indentation just for the Flakes stuff, so
it's nice to have the actual build stuff elsewhere to keep flake.nix
manageable. Also, to have a compatibility shim, as I understand it you
end up needing a Nix implementation of Flakes (flake-compat). In the
other direction, there's no need for anything like this.
