Motivation
No consensus has been found as to whether
storePath
should be considered pure or impure. As such, an experimental feature should be added to allow those that consider the function pure to use it as such.Context
See #5868.
Heads up: This is my first code change to nix; it's likely I missed something from the contributing document (even though I did read through it), and I couldn't find any documentation about the process of adding an experimental feature in the repo (I was on an airplane with no internet and am just now submitting the PR).
