Positron is in nixpkgs: what do we do about it?

Should we add it as a choice to the ide argument ?

When I try to open my project within Positron from the RStudio shell, it doesn't open the entire project--just starts Positron with the preloaded environment. Is that suppose to be the behavior?

I don’t know, I don’t use Positron. But what I’m pretty sure of is that Positron doesn’t use the RStudio project format, so if you’re trying to open an RStudio project file from Positron, that won’t work. As far as I know you should be able to open the root directory of the project from Positron, and that would have the same effect as opening a project in RStudio.
