nova-nix-0.9.0.0: src/Nix/Expr/Resolve.hs
-- | The resolution passes run over a parsed expression before it is
-- evaluated: variables to positional slots, and relative path literals to
-- absolute ones.
--
-- Variable resolution is upstream's bindVars. Every variable is bound
-- before anything is evaluated, and one that no enclosing scope binds and
-- no enclosing @with@ could supply fails the whole expression then, even on
-- a branch evaluation would never take.
--
-- Lambda formals and eligible let\/rec bindings get positional
-- (de Bruijn-style) indices via 'LexicalScope' and become 'EResolvedVar'.
-- Let\/rec blocks with dynamic keys fall back to
-- 'NameBarrier' (name-based lookup at runtime), as do the names bound
-- around the whole expression.
-- A name only a @with@ could supply becomes 'EWithVar'.
--
-- Path resolution rewrites a relative path literal to an absolute one, so
-- what it names is fixed by the file it was written in.
--
-- Both are called once at parse time ('Nix.Parser.parseNix').

-- carries only a name. Until it does, the name is exempt from the check and
