2022-04-21	replace most Pos objects/ptrs with indexes into a position table	pennae
	Pos objects are somewhat wasteful as they duplicate the origin file name and input type for each object. on files that produce more than one Pos when parsed this a sizeable waste of memory (one pointer per Pos). the same goes for ptr<Pos> on 64 bit machines: parsing enough source to require 8 bytes to locate a position would need at least 8GB of input and 64GB of expression memory. it's not likely that we'll hit that any time soon, so we can use a uint32_t index to locate positions instead.
2022-04-21	don't use full Pos for findPackageFilename/editorFor	pennae
	only file and line of the returned position were ever used, it wasn't actually used a position. as such we may as well use a path+int pair for only those two values and remove a use of Pos that would not work well with a position table.
2021-07-19	Rename findDerivationFilename -> findPackageFilename	Robert Hensing
	It does not operate on a derivation and does not return a derivation path. Instead it works at the language level, where a distinct term "package" is more appropriate to distinguish the parent object of `meta.position`; an attribute which doesn't even make it into the derivation.
2021-04-07	restoreSignals() + restoreAffinity() -> restoreProcessContext()	Eelco Dolstra

2020-12-21	Add 'nix edit' manpage	Eelco Dolstra

2020-10-06	Remove static variable name clashes	Eelco Dolstra
	This was useful for an experiment with building Nix as a single compilation unit. It's not very useful otherwise but also doesn't hurt...
2020-07-17	nix edit: call restoreSignals() before `execvp`-ing the $EDITOR	Lars Mühmel
	Currently resizing of the terminal doesn't play nicely with nix edit when using kakoune as the editor, as it relies on the SIGWINCH signal which is trapped by nix. How this is not a problem with e.g. vim is beyond me. Virtually all other exec* calls are following a call to restoreSignals(). This commit adds this behavior to nix edit as well.
2020-07-15	nix: Fix examples	Eelco Dolstra

2020-05-05	nix --help: Group commands	Eelco Dolstra

2020-03-24	nix edit: Support non-derivation attributes	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. $ nix edit .#nixosConfigurations.bla now works. (cherry picked from commit d2032edb2f86e955a8a7724a27c0c3225f386500)

2019-10-28	libexpr: findDerivationFilename return Pos instead of tuple	zimbatm

2019-10-23	libexpr: add findDerivationFilename	zimbatm
	extract the derivation to filename:lineno heuristic
2019-10-23	libutil: add editorFor heuristic	zimbatm

2019-09-22	Don't catch exceptions by value	Eelco Dolstra
	(cherry picked from commit 893be6f5e36abb58bbaa9c49055a5218114dd514)
2019-02-05	Revert "Restore parent mount namespace before executing a child process"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit a0ef21262f4d5652bfb65cfacaec01d89c475a93. This doesn't work in 'nix run' and nix-shell because setns() fails in multithreaded programs, and Boehm GC mark threads are uncancellable. Fixes #2646.
2018-11-13	Restore parent mount namespace before executing a child process	Eelco Dolstra
	This ensures that they can't write to /nix/store. Fixes #2535.
2018-04-17	Handle arguments in $EDITOR	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #2079.
2017-12-14	edit: Catch stoi exceptions from line number parsing	Ben Gamari

2017-08-29	nix edit / log: Operate on a single Installable	Eelco Dolstra

2017-08-29	nix run: Flush the progress bar before starting the command	Eelco Dolstra

2017-07-30	Replace Unicode quotes in user-facing strings by ASCII	Jörg Thalheim
	Relevant RFC: NixOS/rfcs#4 $ ag -l \| xargs sed -i -e "/\"/s/’/'/g;/\"/s/‘/'/g"
2017-05-08	Add "nix edit" command	Eelco Dolstra
	This is a little convenience command that opens the Nix expression of the specified package. For example, nix edit nixpkgs.perlPackages.Moose opens <nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix> in $EDITOR (at the right line number for some editors). This requires the package to have a meta.position attribute.
