  1. Merge environments of nested functions 

    Previously an expression like 'x: y: ...' would create two
environments with one value. Now it creates one environment with two
values. This reduces the number of allocations and the distance in the
environment chain that variable lookups need to traverse.

On

  $ nix-instantiate --dry-run '<nixpkgs/nixos/release-combined.nix>' -A nixos.tests.simple.x86_64-linux

this gives a ~30% reduction in the number of Env allocations.
