default*: do not namespace?

[blaggacao]

Wouldn't it make the public api of a simple flake repo cleaner if default*, eg defaultPackage would not be re-exposed in packages?

flake-utils/simpleFlake.nix

Line 63 in 08c7ad4

defaultPackage = packages.defaultPackage;

So that we would do:

# ./overlay.nix
final: prev:
{
  simple-flake = {
    hello = prev.hello;
  };
  defaultPackage = prev.hello;
  devShell = {};
}

Ah that would break the name spacing of the genuine overlay import. But an alternative could be to filter those out when exporting packages (or alternatively when exporting overlays — so their special status gains a visual clue in the ./overlay.nix file)?
