[Nix-dev] cabal-install 1.24's Nix-style builds, and a new style of Nix + language package manager integration

[Peter Simons]

Hi John,

I have really tried my best to understand what exactly it is you are
suggesting in this thread and why that suggestion might be desirable,
but I haven't been able to grok your proposal.

Would it be possible to explain your thoughts using a *concrete*
example, i.e. could you maybe give us a *specific* example of a use-case
that does not work today, but that would work correctly if your proposal
were implemented?

Best regards,
Peter
