[Nix-dev] Fixing module arguments (PROPOSAL MAY BREAK EXISTING NIXOS CONFIGS, PLEASE READ)

[Shea Levy]

Yes, this is a variant on my "conservative" solution and will break

config.nixpkgs. But as Eelco has said he may be willing to take that
hit, something along those lines will probably be the ultimate outcome
here.
