* Change the scoping of "inherit (e) ..." in recs so that the

  attributes of the rec are in scope of `e'.  This is useful in
  expressions such as

    rec {
      lib = import ./lib;
      inherit (lib) concatStrings;
    }

  It does change the semantics of expressions such as

    let x = {y = 1;}; in rec { x = {y = 2;}; inherit (x) y; }.y

  This now returns 2 instead of 1.  However, no code in Nixpkgs or
  NixOS seems to rely on the old behaviour.
