* New builtin function "isFunction". You're not supposed to use it

  ;-)
* Channels: fix channels that are plain lists of derivations (like
  strategoxt-unstable) instead  of functions (like nixpkgs-unstable).
  This fixes the error message "error: the left-hand side of the
  function call is neither a function nor a primop (built-in
  operation) but a list".
