* When something goes wrong in the evaluation of a Nix expression,
print a nice backtrace of the stack, rather than vomiting a gigantic (and useless) aterm on the screen. Example: error: while evaluating file `.../pkgs/system/test.nix': while evaluating attribute `subversion' at `.../pkgs/system/all-packages-generic.nix', line 533: while evaluating function at `.../pkgs/applications/version-management/subversion/default.nix', line 1: assertion failed at `.../pkgs/applications/version-management/subversion/default.nix', line 13 Since the Nix expression language is lazy, the trace may be misleading. The purpose is to provide a hint as to the location of the problem.
