Wouldn't it make more sense to simply map foo-bar on a derivation to
foo_bar as a shell variable? Are there any significant cases where
this would be problematic?

firefox-with-plugins is actually "firefoxWrapper", and doesn't
actually have any plugins enabled by default. firefoxWrapper simply

So I just had a look at the new NixOS website, and I have a major
problem with it... I can't find the documentation. And that's as
