List of overlays to use with the Nix Packages collection.
(For details, see the Nixpkgs documentation.) It allows
you to override packages globally. Each function in the list
takes as an argument the *original* Nixpkgs.
The first argument should be used for finding dependencies, and
the second should be used for overriding recipes.
List of overlays to apply to Nixpkgs.
This option allows modifying the Nixpkgs package set accessed through the `pkgs` module argument.
If `nixpkgs.pkgs` is set, overlays specified here
will be applied after the overlays that were already present
in `nixpkgs.pkgs`.
For details, see the [Overlays chapter in the Nixpkgs manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#chap-overlays).
If the {option}`nixpkgs.pkgs` option is set, overlays specified using `nixpkgs.overlays` will be applied after the overlays that were already included in `nixpkgs.pkgs`.
