Actually, don't use quotes at all. (Reported by Howard B. Golden.)

same thing as writeFile.

collector roots that point (directly or indirectly) to the given
paths.

* Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. Many
...
(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too
expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the
buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too
much time to make it practical.

* Don't show trace information by default (`--show-trace' to enable).
...
NixOS evaluation errors in particular look intimidating and
generally aren't very useful. Ideally the builtins.throw messages
should be self-contained.

* Canonicalise timestamps in the Nix store to 1 (1970-01-01 00:00:01
...
UTC) rather than 0 (00:00:00). 1 is a better choice because some
programs use 0 as a special value. For instance, the Template
Toolkit uses a timestamp of 0 to denote the non-existence of a file,
so it barfs on files in the Nix store (see
template-toolkit-nix-store.patch in Nixpkgs). Similarly, Maya 2008
fails to load script directories with a timestamp of 0 and can't be
patched because it's closed source.
This will also shut up those "implausibly old time stamp" GNU tar
warnings.

* Export the nix-env derivation name parsing and version comparison

logic through the `parseDrvName' and `compareVersions' primops.
This will allow expressions to easily check whether some dependency
is a specific needed version or falls in some version range. See
tests/lang/eval-okay-versions.nix for examples.
