given `nix-copy-closure` exists, it doesn't make much sense to do
nix-store --export $paths | nix-store --import --store ssh://foo@bar
since that dumps everything rather than granularly transferring store
objects as needed.
therefore, pick an example where dumping the entire closure into a file
actually makes a difference, such as when deploying to airgapped systems.
