Currently you have to write e.g. inputs.nixpkgs.outputs.packages. We could drop the .provides to make things a bit more convenient.

Implemented in 1b05792, though it's a bit questionable whether it's a good idea, since it makes flakes less lazy then they could be (it forces evaluation of the outputs function even if the caller is only interested in the flake source tree or metadata).
