* In nix-instantiate, at top-level, call functions that have arguments
with default values automatically. I.e., e -> e {}. This feature makes convenience expressions such as pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix in Nixpkgs obsolete, since we can just do $ nix-instantiate ./pkgs/system/all-packages.nix since all-packages.nix takes a single argument (system) that has a default value (__thisSystem).
