Eelco Dolstra 543d7a41dc * Automatically add propagated build inputs to user environments.
Maybe this is a bad idea.

Eelco Dolstra 37d7abd694 * New language feature: with expressions.
The expression `with E1; E2' evaluates to E2 with all bindings in
  the attribute set E1 substituted.  E.g.,

    with {x = 123;}; x

  evaluates to 123.  That is, the attribute set E1 is in scope in E2.

  This is particularly useful when importing files containing lots
  definitions.  E.g., instead of

    let {
      inherit (import ./foo.nix) a b c d e f;

      body = ... a ... f ...;
    }

  we can now say

    with import ./foo.nix;

    ... a ... f ...

  I.e., we don't have to say what variables should be brought into scope.

Eelco Dolstra 2be8ac48bb * Make the creation of user environments much faster and more storage
efficient by creating only a single symlink to entire directory
  trees unless a collission occurs.
