           allow users to write things like

             "--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib"

           where `freetype' is a derivation (or a source to be copied
           to the store).  If we just concatenated the strings without
           keeping track of the referenced store paths, then if the
           string is used as a derivation attribute, the derivation
           will not have the correct dependencies in its inputDrvs and
           inputSrcs.

           The semantics of the context is as follows: when a string
           with context C is used as a derivation attribute, then the
           derivations in C will be added to the inputDrvs of the
           derivation, and the other store paths in C will be added to
           the inputSrcs of the derivations.

           For canonicity, the store paths should be in sorted order. */
