Description
Seems like this is usable only as a flake. Yes, a default.nix exists but it's a flake-compat wrapper.
For example, would be great if overlay files were real instead of taking flake inputs:

I know this is a bunch of work and I'm not sure I'm willing to do that work, but here's a formal request.

Research direction
Read default.nix and the referenced overlays/default.nix and overlays/library/overlay.nix files to understand the current flake-compat and flake-input usage. Trace how the overlays are consumed, then define the scope for supporting vanilla usage; done means the package and overlays work without requiring flake inputs.
