/* String concatenation and context nodes: in order to allow users to
   write things like

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

   where `freetype' is a derivation, we automatically coerce
   derivations into their output path (e.g.,
   /nix/store/hashcode-freetype) in concatenations.  However, if we do
   this naively, we could introduce an undeclared dependency: when the
   string is used in another derivation, that derivation would not
   have an explicitly dependency on `freetype' in its inputDrvs
   field.  Thus `freetype' would not necessarily be built.

   To prevent this, we wrap the string resulting from the
   concatenation in a *context node*, like this:

     Context([freetype],
       Str("--with-freetype2-library=/nix/store/hashcode-freetype/lib"))

   Thus the context is the list of all derivations used in the
   computation of a value.  These contexts are propagated through
   further concatenations.  In processBinding() in primops.cc, context
   nodes are unwrapped and added to inputDrvs.

   !!! Should the ordering of the context list have a canonical form?

   !!! Contexts are not currently recognised in most places in the
   evaluator. */
