Motivation for this change

@vcunat Not sure if this sort of thing is appropriate to backport to 18.03 from master, but it's just adding functionality to nix stuff, not changing any package versions or anything.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option build-use-sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

@ElvishJerricco, did you test whether the new code works fine in the 18.03 branch?

If it works okay, then I think that change is fine to backport.

@peti Yea I'm using this on my desktop on 18.03. Really great to not have to recheck all-cabal-hashes after garbage collection every day :P
