Print top-level errors normally in `nix repl`
Previously, errors while printing values in `nix repl` would be printed in `«error: ...»` brackets rather than displayed normally: ``` nix-repl> legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.pythonPackages.APScheduler «error: Package ‘python-2.7.18.7’ in /nix/store/6s0m1qc31zw3l3kq0q4wd5cp3lqpkq0q-source/pkgs/development/interpreters/python/cpython/2.7/default.nix:335 is marked as insecure, refusing to evaluate.» ``` Now, errors will be displayed normally if they're emitted at the top-level of an expression: ``` nix-repl> legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.pythonPackages.APScheduler error: … in the condition of the assert statement at /nix/store/6s0m1qc31zw3l3kq0q4wd5cp3lqpkq0q-source/lib/customisation.nix:268:17: 267| in commonAttrs // { 268| drvPath = assert condition; drv.drvPath; | ^ 269| outPath = assert condition; drv.outPath; … in the left operand of the OR (||) operator at /nix/store/6s0m1qc31zw3l3kq0q4wd5cp3lqpkq0q-source/pkgs/development/interpreters/python/passthrufun.nix:28:45: 27| if lib.isDerivation value then 28| lib.extendDerivation (valid value || throw "${name} should use `buildPythonPackage` or `toPythonModule` if it is to be part of the Python packages set.") {} value | ^ 29| else (stack trace truncated; use '--show-trace' to show the full trace) error: Package ‘python-2.7.18.7’ in /nix/store/6s0m1qc31zw3l3kq0q4wd5cp3lqpkq0q-source/pkgs/development/interpreters/python/cpython/2.7/default.nix:335 is marked as insecure, refusing to evaluate. ``` Errors emitted in nested structures (like e.g. when printing `nixpkgs`) will still be printed in brackets.
