Here's how to clean up the old backup file:

1. Back up (copy) $profile_target and $profile_target$PROFILE_BACKUP_SUFFIX

2. Ensure $profile_target$PROFILE_BACKUP_SUFFIX does not have anything
   Nix-related in it. If it does, something is probably quite
   wrong. Please open an issue or get in touch immediately.

3. Once you confirm $profile_target is backed up and

2. Show you what I am going to install and where. Then I will ask

This script is going to call sudo a lot. Normally, it would show you
exactly what commands it is running and why. However, the script is
run in a headless fashion, like this:

  $ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh

or maybe in a CI pipeline. Because of that, I'm going to skip the
verbose output in the interest of brevity.

If you would like to
see the output, try like this:

  $ curl -L -o install-nix https://nixos.org/nix/install
  $ sh ./install-nix

EOF
        return 0
    fi

    cat <<EOF
This script is going to call sudo a lot. Every time I do, it'll
output exactly what it'll do, and why.

Just like this:
EOF

    __sudo "to demonstrate how our sudo prompts look" \
           echo "this is a sudo prompt"

    cat <<EOF

This might look scary, but everything can be undone by running just a
few commands. I used to ask you to confirm each time sudo ran, but it
was too many times. Instead, I'll just ask you this one time:

EOF
    if ui_confirm "Can I use sudo?"; then
        ok "Yay! Thanks! Let's get going!"
    else
        failure <<EOF
That is okay, but I can't install.
