Use this package to parse and render Nix derivations such as those stored
in `/nix/store/*.drv` files.  For example, if you had the following derivation
saved at
`/nix/store/zzhs4fb83x5ygvjqn5rdpmpnishpdgy6-perl-MIME-Types-2.13.drv`:

```
Derive([("devdoc","/nix/store/15x9ii8c3n5wb5lg80cm8x0yk6zy7rha-perl-MIME-Types-2
.13-devdoc","",""),("out","/nix/store/93d75ghjyibmbxgfzwhh4b5zwsxzs44w-perl-MIME

```

... you could parse that derivation using:

```
>>> text <- Data.Text.Lazy.IO.readFile "/nix/store/zzhs4fb83x5ygvjqn5rdpmpnishpdgy6-perl-MIME-Types-2.13.drv"
>>> let result = Data.Attoparsec.Text.Lazy.parse Nix.Derivation.parseDerivation text

```

... and render the result back to the original derivation:

```

You can also use the `pretty-derivation` executable installed as part of this
package to pretty-print the Haskell representation of a Nix derivations:

```shell
