Leading periods were allowed by accident in Nix 2.4. The Nix team has considered this to be a bug, but this behavior has since been relied on by users, leading to unnecessary difficulties. From now on, leading periods are officially, definitively supported.

Nix versions that denied leading periods are documented in the issue.
