This would have allowed us to catch to fromTOML regression in [1] without waiting for the dogfooding on master, since previously these tests [2] were not run for the Nix/Lix under test - only the host nix. [1]: NixOS/nix#13741 [2]: NixOS#433710
This doesn't do the right thing here, because it evaluates
the test with nix that is evaluating the `nixpkgs-lib-tests-nix-${nix.version}`
derivation, not the Nix/Lix under test. This was just really busted for a long
time.
This suffers from the same issue as misc.nix tests, because they were evaluated by the host nix, not the one that is being tested.

I suppose it makes sense, since there are no other in-tree users of this. Dropped the file. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I believe this has no effect on lix's out of tree usage and looks overall good to me.
