7d4cc5515c defer formals duplicate check for incresed efficiency all round
if we defer the duplicate argument check for lambda formals we can use more
efficient data structures for the formals set, and we can get rid of the
duplication of formals names to boot. instead of a list of formals we've seen
and a set of names we'll keep a vector instead and run a sort+dupcheck step
before moving the parsed formals into a newly created lambda. this improves
performance on search and rebuild by ~1%, pure parsing gains more (about 4%).

this does reorder lambda arguments in the xml output, but the output is still
stable. this shouldn't be a problem since argument order is not semantically
important anyway.

8a10360c91 * Simplify @-patterns: only {attrs}@name' or name@{attrs}' are now
allowed.  So `name1@name2', `{attrs1}@{attrs2}' and so on are now no
  longer legal.  This is no big loss because they were not useful
  anyway.

  This also changes the output of builtins.toXML for @-patterns
  slightly.

9279174dde * Added an experimental feature suggested by Andres: ellipses ("...")
in attribute set pattern matches.  This allows defining a function
  that takes *at least* the listed attributes, while ignoring
  additional attributes.  For instance,

    {stdenv, fetchurl, fuse, ...}:
    
    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      ...
    };
    
  defines a function that requires an attribute set that contains the 
  specified attributes but ignores others.  The main advantage is that
  we can then write in all-packages.nix

    aefs = import ../bla/aefs pkgs;

  instead of

    aefs = import ../bla/aefs {
      inherit stdenv fetchurl fuse;
    };

  This saves a lot of typing (not to mention not having to update
  all-packages.nix with purely mechanical changes).  It saves as much
  typing as the "args: with args;" style, but has the advantage that
  the function arguments are properly declared (not implicit in what
  the body of the "with" uses).

1b962fc720 * @-patterns as in Haskell. For instance, in a function definition
f = args @ {x, y, z}: ...;

  `args' refers to the argument as a whole, which is further
  pattern-matched against the attribute set pattern {x, y, z}.

efe4b690ae * Refactoring: combine functions that take an attribute set and
functions that take a single argument (plain lambdas) into one AST
  node (Function) that contains a Pattern node describing the
  arguments.  Current patterns are single lazy arguments (VarPat) and
  matching against an attribute set (AttrsPat).

  This refactoring allows other kinds of patterns to be added easily,
  such as Haskell-style @-patterns, or list pattern matching.
