I have no idea what this escape sequence even is, but it breaks the nix parser with cryptic errors if not used in a comment.
A friend let me know MacOS is prone to input weird spaces, not sure if that is the source.
Candidates were located and created with:
chr="$(echo -e '\xc2\xa0')"; rg -F "$chr" -l | xe sd -F "$chr" " "
There are some examples left, most being example output from `tree` in various markdown documents, some patches which we can't really touch, and `pkgs/tools/nix/nixos-render-docs/src/tests/test_commonmark.py` which I'm not sure if should be addressed
4b836fb680 added `pkgs.grub2_efi` to `environment.systemPackages` so that it would be in the Nix store and available for install. But `pkgs.grub2` is already in the list. This causes the various paths of the two GRUB2 versions to collide. To fix this, put `pkgs.grub2_efi` into `system.extraDependencies` instead. This should achieve the same effect of adding the second GRUB2 version to the Nix store without the paths colliding in the environment.
To reproduce the problem, execute `nix-build nixos -I nixos-config=nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/iso-image.nix -A config.system.build.isoImage` and look for messages like
```
warning: collision between `/nix/store/9jk1p9n5dl431lcm4w9p6x6x8a00dm0q-grub-2.12/bin/grub-install' and `/nix/store/809l0i6aydg4zhn3kqf723brjyp2qm8h-grub-2.12/bin/grub-install'
```
This reverts commit 2e702d07bb.
Segfaults during evaluation in yet-to-be-determined circumstances.
Investigation is ongoing, reverting for now to be safe.

This reverts commit ac849e5658.
Nix 2.24 segfaults semi-randomly during evaluation on specific configs (?).
This commit prepares for another revert, putting the default back to 2.18.

noXLibs is an advanced option for advanced users which know how to recognize and debug build failures which might be caused by the added overlays.
The minimal profile should be minimal but also save to use for many people and not cause build failures in packages it really shouldn't.
When building an image, rather than operating on a real partition,
there's no need to have sfdisk tell the kernel to reread the partition
table. This also avoids a call to sync(2), which could be very
expensive depending on what other IO is going on on the system at the time.
