[Nix-dev] selectVersion

Hi,

Can somebody explain what the use of selectVersion in all-packages.nix is?  It's
full of calls like

  selectVersion ../tools/system/ddrescue "1.8"

which seems rather pointless to me, given that you can just as easily say
"import ../tools/system/ddrescue/1.8.nix".  I propose a global search/replace to
get rid of them...
