          Pure evaluation mode ensures that the result of Nix expressions is fully determined by explicitly declared inputs, and not influenced by external state:

          - File system and network access is restricted to accesses to immutable data only:
            - Path literals relative to the home directory like `~/lix` are rejected at parse time.
            - Access to absolute paths that did not result from Nix language evaluation is rejected when such paths are given as parameters to builtins like, for example, [`builtins.readFile`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-readFile).

              Access is nonetheless allowed to (absolute) paths in the Nix store that are returned by builtins like [`builtins.filterSource`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-filterSource), [`builtins.fetchTarball`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-fetchTarball) and similar.
            - Impure fetches such as not specifying a commit ID for `builtins.fetchGit` or not specifying a hash for `builtins.fetchTarball` are rejected.
            - In flakes, access to relative paths outside of the root of the flake's source tree (often, a git repository) is rejected.
          - The evaluator ignores `NIX_PATH`, `-I` and the `nix-path` setting. Thus, [`builtins.nixPath`](@docroot@/language/builtin-constants.md#builtins-nixPath) is an empty list.
          - The builtins [`builtins.currentSystem`](@docroot@/language/builtin-constants.md#builtins-currentSystem) and [`builtins.currentTime`](@docroot@/language/builtin-constants.md#builtins-currentTime) are absent from `builtins`.
          - [`builtins.getEnv`](@docroot@/language/builtin-constants.md#builtins-currentSystem) always returns empty string for any variable.

          If set to `true`, the Nix evaluator will trace every function call.

    PathsSetting<Paths> replOverlays{this, Paths(), "repl-overlays",

          A list of files containing Nix expressions that can be used to add
          default bindings to [`nix
          repl`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-repl.md) sessions.

          Each file is called with three arguments:
          1. An [attribute set](@docroot@/language/values.html#attribute-set)
             containing at least a
             [`currentSystem`](@docroot@/language/builtin-constants.md#builtins-currentSystem)
             attribute (this is identical to
             [`builtins.currentSystem`](@docroot@/language/builtin-constants.md#builtins-currentSystem),
             except that it's available in
             [`pure-eval`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.html#conf-pure-eval)
             mode).
          2. The top-level bindings produced by the previous `repl-overlays`
             value (or the default top-level bindings).
          3. The final top-level bindings produced by calling all
             `repl-overlays`.

          For example, the following file would alias `pkgs` to
          `legacyPackages.${info.currentSystem}` (if that attribute is defined):

          ```nix
          info: final: prev:
          if prev ? legacyPackages
             && prev.legacyPackages ? ${info.currentSystem}
          then
          {
            pkgs = prev.legacyPackages.${info.currentSystem};
          }
          else
          { }
          ```

          Here's a more elaborate `repl-overlay`, which provides the following
          variables:
          - The original, unmodified variables are aliased to `original`.
          - `legacyPackages.${system}` (if it exists) or `packages.${system}`
            (otherwise) is aliased to `pkgs`.
          - All attribute set variables with a `${system}` attribute are
            abbreviated in the same manner; e.g. `devShells.${system}` is
            shortened to `devShells`.

          For example, the following attribute set:

          ```nix
          info: final: attrs: let
            # Equivalent to nixpkgs `lib.optionalAttrs`.
            optionalAttrs = predicate: attrs:
              if predicate
              then attrs
              else {};

            # If `attrs.${oldName}.${info.currentSystem}` exists, alias `${newName}` to
            # it.
            collapseRenamed = oldName: newName:
              optionalAttrs (builtins.hasAttr oldName attrs
                && builtins.hasAttr info.currentSystem attrs.${oldName})
              {
                ${newName} = attrs.${oldName}.${info.currentSystem};
              };

            # Alias `attrs.${oldName}.${info.currentSystem} to `${newName}`.
            collapse = name: collapseRenamed name name;

            # Alias all `attrs` keys with an `${info.currentSystem}` attribute.
            collapseAll =
              builtins.foldl'
              (prev: name: prev // collapse name)
              {}
              (builtins.attrNames attrs);
          in
            # Preserve the original bindings as `original`.

              {
                original = attrs;
              })
