So when using Nix as a build tool, you can just say `nix-build' and it will build the top-level derivation defined in `default.nix'.

2004-10-25 * New language feature: with expressions.Eelco Dolstra1-13/+21
The expression `with E1; E2' evaluates to E2 with all bindings in the attribute set E1 substituted. E.g., with {x = 123;}; x evaluates to 123. That is, the attribute set E1 is in scope in E2. This is particularly useful when importing files containing lots definitions. E.g., instead of let { inherit (import ./foo.nix) a b c d e f; body = ... a ... f ...; } we can now say with import ./foo.nix; ... a ... f ... I.e., we don't have to say what variables should be brought into scope.
