+          We recommend using a separate file just for this purpose.  I.e.,
+          don't point this at your main NixOS config.  Instead, import this
+          file from your main NixOS config.  (The current nix-configuration
+          read-modify-write implementation only supports attrsets of strings;
+          it does not support functions, which you probably use in your
+          main configuration.)
