The main idea is to allow the Nix language to cleanly specify any
configuration, rather than stitching up strings. And yes it's sad that
everybody has different configuration languages. But a augeas might
serve as a base for all the "Xtonix" things.

What if Nix could have a lens functionality? Check out

Then you could use lenses to manipulate the dot files or any config file
from Nix.
Yeah, lenses are great things, but in this case it would take lots of
work for *each* configuration type (each app). And I fail to see
whether the result would be so much better than the dotfiles-in-git
option.
