Add `pre-commit` checks
The big ones here are `trim-trailing-whitespace` and `end-of-file-fixer` (which makes sure that every file ends with exactly one newline character). Change-Id: Idca73b640883188f068f9903e013cf0d82aa1123

declarative package management similar to NixOS’s
`environment.systemPackages`. For instance, if you have a
specification `my-packages.nix` like this:
-
+
with import <nixpkgs> {};
[ thunderbird
geeqie
...
]
-
+
then after any change to this file, you can run:
-
+
$ nix-env -f my-packages.nix -ir
-
+
to update your profile to match the specification.
- The ‘`with`’ language construct is now more lazy. It only evaluates
its argument if a variable might actually refer to an attribute in
the argument. For instance, this now works:
-
+
let
pkgs = with pkgs; { foo = "old"; bar = foo; } // overrides;
overrides = { foo = "new"; };
in pkgs.bar
-
+
This evaluates to `"new"`, while previously it gave an “infinite
recursion” error.
