Nix, the purely functional package manager
f6078e474d
```console $ nix eval --expr '({ foo ? 1 }: foo) { fob = 2; }' error: anonymous function at (string):1:2 called with unexpected argument 'fob' at «string»:1:1: 1| ({ foo ? 1 }: foo) { fob = 2; } | ^ Did you mean foo? ``` Not that because Nix will first check for _missing_ arguments before checking for extra arguments, `({ foo }: foo) { fob = 1; }` will complain about the missing `foo` argument (rather than extra `fob`) and so won’t display a suggestion. |
