This documents that all installables in the nix3 commands, in their --file/-f form accept an extended syntax for the file argument, which is the same as it is for nix-build and friends, some of which were well known in their nix-build forms (e.g. `nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello) but are not well known in their nix3 forms (people rarely know that you can `nix build -f '<nixpkgs>' firefox`). Like the old CLI syntax, as documented in [1], file arguments also accept https:// tarball URLs, `flake:` prefixed flakerefs, and the cursed `channel:` prefixed hardened URLs.
