writeShellApplication does not need shellcheck docs
it takes ~1 hour to compile the dependencies of pandoc on r9 5900x
because haskell is so slow

One significant use case is adding `passthru.tests` to setup-hooks,
and help increase test coverage for mission-critical setup-hooks.
As `meta`, `passthru` doesn't go into the build script directly.
However, passing an empty set to `passthru` breaks nixpkgs-review
and OfBorg tests, so pass it only when specified.
we will have more testers in the future so they should have their own
location
putting 'testers' in args will also make it simpler to use multiple testers
before

After being rewritten in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/149731, this hook
can fail on Mach-O binaries. Since patching ELF files on Darwin doesn't make
much sense anyway, we'll mark this as Linux-exclusive.
Add `shellDryRun` to the generic stdenv and substitute it for uses of
`${stdenv.shell} -n`. The point of this layer of abstraction is to add
the flag `-O extglob`, which resolves#126344 in a more direct way.
Add writeStringReferencesToFile, a builder which extracts a string's
references to derivations and paths and writes them to a text file,
removing the input string itself from the dependency graph. This is
useful when you want to make a derivation depend on the string's
references, but not its content (to avoid unnecessary rebuilds, for
example).
`installCheckPhase` is mainly intended for checks that are part of the
upstream package, for our 'own' checks we prefer `passthru.tests`.
This loses running `buf --help`, but I'm not sure how much that adds
on top of `buf --version`?
