desugaring inherit-from to syntactic duplication of the source expr also duplicates side effects of the source expr (such as trace calls) and expensive computations (such as derivationStrict).

`inherit (x) a b ...` now evaluates the expression `x` only once for all inherited attributes rather than once for each inherited attribute.

This does not usually have a measurable impact, but side-effects (such as `builtins.trace`) would be duplicated and expensive expressions (such as derivations) could cause a measurable slowdown.
