Invoking nix-shell twice results in bash: --stdin: invalid option

Issue description

Did you install the plugin according to the installation guide? If not, does the issue persist if you do install it that way?

According to the installtion guide.

Steps to reproduce

nix-shell -p <whatever>
# inside the nix-shell
nix-shell -p <whatever>

I set -x for these setups, the log is at https://shz.al/R9P6.

Discussion

Seems that

zsh-nix-shell/nix-shell.plugin.zsh

Line 55 in a2139b3

NIX_EXECUTING_SHELL="$SHELL" \

caused the problem as after one nix-shell, $SHELL is set to /home/zenithal/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/nix-shell/scripts/buildShellShim

Does the issue persist if you try this branch? https://github.com/chisui/zsh-nix-shell/tree/issue/28

It works!

BTW, NIX_SHELL_PACKAGES should be concated so I suggest the following change (want a Co-authored-by)

-  local NIX_SHELL_PACKAGES=""
+  local LOCAL_NIX_SHELL_PACKAGES="${NIX_SHELL_PACKAGES}"

and change the variable name in the other places accordingly.

It works for me as follows (with modified zsh-theme)

# zenithal @ Sun in ~ [3:44:01]
$ nix-shell -p nodejs

# zenithal @ Sun in ~ [3:44:07]  { nodejs }
$ nix-shell -p go

# zenithal @ Sun in ~ [3:44:10]  { nodejs go }
$ nix-shell -p mtr

# zenithal @ Sun in ~ [3:44:18]  { nodejs go mtr }
$

Ok, I'll merge the change.
