While this project is in the early stages of development, the `daemon`
store can be seen as something of a road map: We want to express and
implement all of (and only) the useful functionality available to a
client of the existing daemon protocol.
Note that there are currently no plans for hnix-store to include an
implementation which directly mutates the filesystem and database of
the `Nix` store.
