/* This function composes the Nix Packages collection. It:
1. Applies the final stage to the given `config` if it is a function
2. Infers an appropriate `platform` based on the `system` if none is
provided
3. Defaults to no non-standard config and no cross-compilation target
4. Uses the above to infer the default standard environment (stdenv) if
none is provided
5. Builds the final stage --- a fully booted package set with the chosen
stdenv
Use `impure.nix` to also infer the `system` based on the one on which
evaluation is taking place, and the configuration from environment variables
or dot-files. */
