Description

For eg.,

devShells.aarch64-darwin.haskell.LANG
devShells.aarch64-darwin.haskell.LOCALE_ARCHIVE
devShells.aarch64-darwin.haskell.NIX_GHC
devShells.aarch64-darwin.haskell.NIX_GHCPKG
devShells.aarch64-darwin.haskell.NIX_GHC_DOCDIR
devShells.aarch64-darwin.haskell.NIX_GHC_LIBDIR

At minimum, update https://zero-to-flakes.com/haskell-flake/devshell#composing-devshells to indicate this. Ideally, write a better composition function for devShells.

Research direction

Start with the inputsFrom behavior and the composing devShells section at zero-to-flakes.com/haskell-flake/devshell#composing-devshells. Verify which environment variables are absent from the listed Haskell devShells, then determine whether the documentation should record the limitation or whether a better composition function is needed. Done means the limitation is documented or environment variables propagate as intended.
