you can do: imports = [
home-manager.nixosModule
];

are let statements not allowed at the toplevel for flakes, for instance

let
# etc
in
{

I mean, you can't...?

So I think I want to do something that would generally be regarded as a bad idea. I get that flakes are supposed to be as pure as possible, but I really want to be able to know what directory the flake is defined in, because I want to be able to talk about paths relative to that flake. The reason I want to do this is that I want to add to certain paths in my dotfiles to the global path environment variable. I realize that the nixy way to do this would be to actually add all of the relevant paths/scripts to the nix store and add them that way, but I don't want to have to explicitly rebuild to get new versions of all the scripts every time they are changed.
