it's done by evil shit but we could instrument a Nix evaluator. also fyi as someone who worked on that it works even better locally on nixpkgs haskell because cross library references work in the source view :))

If you could give a concrete example i can tell you if its a wiring issue or would need to be maintained seperately anyways in the long term. I remembered that the writers because some of them are dynamically created by partial application
I am thinking of the functions in this file: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/8f0d434c23d2ae84d0bf32622358361ade96d077/pkgs/build-support/writers/scripts.nix#L402

@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.hostI think they do. I also started a minimal project that does only the reference tracking https://github.com/hsjobeki/flutsch by value introspection07:30:53
