Yes, that is a good explanation. I think I also found the dot operator a bit surprising back in time, but doesn't seem it bothered me enough to ask in the list :) > Now its your turn: What section of the manual should be updated to better > explain this ? > You are at the best place to tell us how you looked for the info, and where > you expected to find it. I just read what it does in the Nix manual: http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#table-operators Neither . nor ? say anything about how the rhs is evaluated. Though the manual does clarify what you just explained here http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#idm46912467652128. I am not sure wether it makes sense to reiterate that in the operators section or if my confusion is just a fluke :) Best -- Samuel _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
