Eelco Dolstra 0a623a10c7 * Allow a default value in attribute selection by writing
x.y.z or default

  (as originally proposed in
  https://mail.cs.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2009-September/002989.html).

  For instance, an expression like

    stdenv.lib.attrByPath ["features" "ckSched"] false args

  can now be written as

    args.features.ckSched or false

The Nix Emacs mode supports syntax highlighting, somewhat sensible
indenting, and refilling of comments.

To enable Nix mode in Emacs, add something like this to your ~/.emacs
file:

  (load "/nix/share/emacs/site-lisp/nix-mode.el")

This automatically causes Nix mode to be activated for all files with
extension `.nix'.
