How to add vim/vi aliases or symlinks?

[damccull]

In ubuntu and derivatives, and possibly others, a command update-alternatives is used to create symlinks for certain interchangeable programs to select your defaults and alias commands. For neovim, you can enable it as your default editor, and provide vi and vim as aliases for nvim. How can I do this with the kickstart-nix.nvim flake? Is it an option already in that I'm missing or is this something I'll need to figure out how to build in?

I see that this functionality is supposed to already exist in the mkNeovim.nix file. However, it's not operating on my system and I have not renamed the binary, indicating that the defaults should create the two symlinks, unless there's a config option I'm still missing. Any advice?
