The convention has changed to use
final
instead ofself
andprev
instead ofsuper
.This new convention is much easier to understand especially for users that are new to Nix and Nixpkgs.
This change is notable in the Nixpkgs project code.
I added a note mentioning that the official documentation hasn't been update with this information.
The documentation is currently undergoing an overhaul and that is why I believe this hasn't been reflected in
the nixpkgs documentation as of yet.
