Using `import' to read an expression from a named pipe fails

[pjones]

For example:

$ mkfifo -m 0600 test.nix
$ echo '{ test = "foo"; }' > text.nix

And then in a nix file:

data = import ./test.nix;

Produces the following error:

syntax error, unexpected $end, at "./test.nix":1:1

I'd love for this to work so I can have an encrypted file readable from NixOps via a named pipe.
