use ~/.local/share/nix/root/nix/ ?

Upstream (pure) nix user sandboxing uses ~/.local/share/nix/root/nix/{store,var} by default.
For example this is what nix uses with user namespace sandboxing if one only installs fedora nix-core (ie with no system /nix).

Would it make sense to or have you considered bind mounting ~/.local/share/nix/root/nix/ instead of ~/.local/share/nix/?

This could avoid duplication of user nix roots between a host (or other toolbox containers) and nix-toolbox say, unless there is a reason not to do this.

@juhp thanks, I was not aware at all. Sounds like a reasonable thing to do. Will check back on it soon.
