An 'auto-call' is when a nix expression is evaluated without any external arguments. If that
nix expression is a function, and that function's arguments all have default values, then all is well.
- But if the function arguments don't have default values, then evaluation fails.
+ But if the function arguments don't have default values, evaluation fails.
The classic case for this error is evaluating a nix file with nix-build that expects to be evaluated by callPackage.
