I am testing ca-derivations for things that frequently rebuild but don't always change like the configuration.nix man page. I think the usage of this is triggering the following bug in...
Note: this is just for the `nom ` usage. But a similar trick can be used for `nom-build`. Adds bash completion calling nix's and correcting the order of the args....
