lib/options/showOption: fix quoting of attr-names that are not identifiers
Personally, I think that warnings such as warning: The option `services.redis.enable' defined in `/home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs/test.nix@node-vm' has been renamed to `services.redis.servers..enable'. are fairly confusing because of the `..` and it's more correct to actually quote that. With this change the warning now looks like this: warning: The option `services.redis.enable' defined in `/home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs/test.nix@node-vm' has been renamed to `services.redis.servers."".enable'. While implementing that I realized that you'd have a similar problem whenever you use attribute-names that aren't identifiers, e.g. services.nginx.virtualHosts."example.org".locations."/".invalid = 23; now results in the following error: error: The option `interactive.nodes.vm.services.nginx.virtualHosts."example.org".locations."/".invalid' does not exist. Definition values: - In `/home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs/test.nix@node-vm': 23 Of course there are some corner-cases where this won't work: when generating the manual, you display submodules like this: services.nginx.virtualHosts.<name> Since `<name>` isn't a value, but an indicator for a submodule, it must not be quoted. This also applies to the following identifiers: * `*` for `listOf submodule` * `<function body>` for `functionTo` This might not be correct if you actually have a submodule with an attribute name called `<name>`, but I think it's an improvement over the current situation and for this you'd probably need to make even more complex changes to the module system.
