Excellent idea, this removes quite a lot of manual steps.

Recently wrote some dirty python scripts to automate the checking and
replacing of sha256s, this approach would make it trivial, reducing check
times from about an hour and growing to mere seconds.

Though, I do have a reservation about the name. An unbubbled search for
NixOS almost always returns a 'did you mean Nixon?' It's infuriating.
Clojure's equivalent is Edn.

Might I encourage a wilder more adventures ... unambiguous name?
