Thus it neither checked whether - <replaceable>expr</replaceable> could be coerced to a string, nor - applied such coercions. This meant that - <literal>"${123}"</literal> evaluatued to <literal>123</literal>, - and <literal>"${./foo}"</literal> evaluated to - <literal>./foo</literal> (even though - <literal>"${./foo} "</literal> evaluates to - <literal>"/nix/store/<replaceable>hash</replaceable>-foo "</literal>). - Nix now checks the type of antiquoted expressions and - applies coercions.</para> - </listitem> - - <listitem> - <para>Nix now shows the exact position of undefined variables. In - particular, undefined variable errors in a <literal>with</literal> - previously didn't show <emphasis>any</emphasis> position - information, so this makes it a lot easier to fix such - errors.</para> - </listitem> - - <listitem> - <para>Undefined variables are now treated consistently. - Previously, the <function>tryEval</function> function would catch - undefined variables inside a <literal>with</literal> but not - outside.
