[Nix-dev] [Nix-commits] [NixOS/nix] 17dc30: Revert "prim_toPath: Actually make the string a pa...

[Shea Levy]

Hi Eelco,

I've already fixed this issue in NixOS master, and the usage of toPath 
was incorrect in that case anyway. Any current uses of toPath aren't 
getting the desired behavior anyway (and AFAICT never have), so isn't it 
better to expose these cases where the expression author misunderstood 
the meaning of toPath and fix the cases where the developer understood 
correctly?
