* Support the --attr / -A flag in nix-env as well. So now we can do,
...
e.g.,
$ nix-env -i -A subversion xorg.xorgserver
The main advantage over using symbolic names is that using attribute
names is unambiguous and much, much faster.

* New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a function
...
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain. E.g.,
{ foo : [true false]
, bar : ["a" "b" "c"]
}: ...
This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks
will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration
space from functions.

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

"--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib"
An arbitrary expression can be enclosed within ${...}, not just
identifiers.
* Escaping in string literals: \n, \r, \t interpreted as in C, any
other character following \ is interpreted as-is.
* Newlines are now allowed in string literals.

* `nix-env -q' now accepts arguments that allow specific derivations

* Big speedup (factor > 2.5) in all nix-env operations that do actual
...
instantiation, e.g. "nix-env -i" and "nix-env -qas" (but not
"nix-env -qa"). It turns out that many redundant calls to
addToStore(path) were made, which reads and hashes the entire path.
For instance, the bash bootstrap binary in Nixpkgs would be read and
hashed many times. As a result nix-env would spend around 92% of
its time in the function sha256_block (according to callgrind).
Some simple memoization fixes this.
