Description

Hi, previously, with the Nix version of #activate, we were able to provide custom arguments to the function that would be passed on to nixos-rebuild, such as --show-trace. Now, with the Nushell version this is not possible.

Edit: related to https://github.com/srid/nixos-flake/issues/57

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the Nushell activation script (likely in flake.nix or a .nu file) and modify it to forward custom arguments to nixos rebuild, similar to the previous Nix version.
