Probably a missed left over from somewhere in
the commit 58f385f680.
As can be seen in that commit where this line was introduced,
"$@" was also just emptied by the last `set` call in line 169.
This line is currently valid, but breaks suddenly when somewhere earlier
a `set --` instruction is used in the future.
Neither in commit 58f385f680
nor in PR https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/197547
have I found anything stating that this "defect" was intentional.
`For android 'sdkVer' has been renamed to 'androidSdkVersion'`
While doing the above rename I forgot to consider if there were still
darwin platforms in `lib.systems.examples` using `sdkVer`
These still fail eval, but that happened before the renaming too.
`error: Unsupported sdk: 14.3`
In preparation for the deprecation of `stdenv.isX`.
These shorthands are not conducive to cross-compilation because they
hide the platforms.
Darwin might get cross-compilation for which the continued usage of `stdenv.isDarwin` will get in the way
One example of why this is bad and especially affects compiler packages
https://www.github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/343059
There are too many files to go through manually but a treewide should
get users thinking when they see a `hostPlatform.isX` in a place where it
doesn't make sense.

```
This makes the type more informative and general - closer to how the function behaves, particularly in isolation.
