        This is the evaluation of Nixpkgs that will be provided to
        all NixOS modules. Defining this option has the effect of
        ignoring the other options that would otherwise be used to
        evaluate Nixpkgs, because those are arguments to the default
        value. The default value imports the Nixpkgs source files
        relative to the location of this NixOS module, because
        NixOS and Nixpkgs are distributed together for consistency,
        so the <code>nixos</code> in the default value is in fact a
        relative path. The <code>config</code>, <code>overlays</code>,
        <code>localSystem</code>, and <code>crossSystem</code> come
        from this option's siblings.

        This option can be used by applications like NixOps to increase
        the performance of evaluation, or to create packages that depend
        on a container that should be built with the exact same evaluation
        of Nixpkgs, for example. Applications like this should set
        their default value using <code>lib.mkDefault</code>, so
        user-provided configuration can override it without using
        <code>lib</code>.

        Note that using a distinct version of Nixpkgs with NixOS may
        be an unexpected source of problems. Use this option with care.
