Scott Olson 287dfee35e Expand the help message printed from --help.
Fixes #10. I consider this a temporary measure, however, until nix-repl has a
manpage (see #14). Then it can just open its manpage on --help like the other
nix tools do.

Much of the text in this commit was copied from nix-build's manpage.

Eelco Dolstra a5dffb3d3d Temporary hack to parameterize nixpkgs 2013-09-09 14:03:28 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 3c67df928f Add sugar for defining a variable
‘x = <expr>’ is short for ‘:a { x = <expr>; }’.  Note that the
right-hand side refers to the original scope, so you get:

  nix-repl> x = 1
  nix-repl> x = x + 1
  nix-repl> x
  2

rather than an infinite recursion.

Eelco Dolstra e133e91410 Support tab-completion on attribute sets
Example:

$ nix-repl '<nixos>'

> config.services.xserver.desktop<TAB>

comletes to

> config.services.xserver.desktopManager

You also get suggestions if there are multiple matches:

> config.services.xserver.desktopManager.kde4
config.services.xserver.desktopManager.kde4.enable
config.services.xserver.desktopManager.kde4.phononBackends

Eelco Dolstra 7e3625f924 Improved value display
By default, we don't recurse into attribute sets or lists when
printing a value.  However, the new :p command does recurse.

Eelco Dolstra 287c88ca59 Support adding variables to the scope
The command ":a <expr>" evaluates <expr> and adds the attributes in
the resulting attribute set to the interpreter scope.  For instance:

nix-repl> :a import <nixpkgs> {}

nix-repl> lib.range 0 10
[ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ]
