This feature allows calling external binaries starting with `lix-` as subcommands directly within the `lix` CLI, similar to how Git handles external commands. For example, a binary named `lix-example` can now be invoked using `lix example`. This change opens up the possibility for broader community-driven extensions of the Lix CLI, offering flexibility that Flakes has somewhat restricted by centralizing certain features around its own model of dependency management. By enabling users to introduce custom subcommands, we encourage experimentation and diverse workflows, addressing the needs of those who seek more modular, feature-rich approaches to package management and system configuration beyond what Flakes currently offers [1] [2] [3]. This adds `lix` as a new binary to be able to use this feature.
