Doing large string rewrites at evaluation time is a bad idea because it's slow. > I've got a working solution: > https://github.com/chaoflow/nixpkgs/blob/2efc8fe32239cccab0e1b89b3c0983a2857dd128/nixos/tests/python.nix#L23 > > Should I move replaceSubstring and interpolateAtAtVars to > lib/strings.nix?
