Maximilian Bosch 80202e3ca3 common-eval-args: raise warning if `--arg` isn't a valid Nix identifier See lix-project/lix#496. The core idea is to be able to do e.g. nix-instantiate -A some-nonfree-thing --arg config.allowUnfree true which is currently not possible since `config.allowUnfree` is interpreted as attribute name with a dot in it. In order to change that (probably), Jade suggested to find out if there are any folks out there relying on this behavior. For such a use-case, it may still be possible to accept strings, i.e. `--arg '"config.allowUnfree"'. Change-Id: `I986c73619fbd87a95b55e2f0ac03feaed3de2d2d`		2024-09-15 16:52:30 +02:00
