Subject: Add `repl-overlays`
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds a `repl-overlays` option, which specifies files that can overlay
and modify the top-level bindings in `nix repl`. For example, with the
following contents in `~/.config/nix/repl.nix`:

    info: final: prev: let
      optionalAttrs = predicate: attrs:
        if predicate
        then attrs
        else {};
    in
      optionalAttrs (prev ? legacyPackages && prev.legacyPackages ? ${info.currentSystem})
      {
        pkgs = prev.legacyPackages.${info.currentSystem};
      }

We can run `nix repl` and use `pkgs` to refer to `legacyPackages.${currentSystem}`:

    $ nix repl --repl-overlays ~/.config/nix/repl.nix nixpkgs
    Lix 2.90.0
    Type :? for help.
    Loading installable 'flake:nixpkgs#'...
    Added 5 variables.
    Loading 'repl-overlays'...
    Added 6 variables.
    nix-repl> pkgs.bash
