Shea Levy 0a0a29fd0b Add comments about the module system interface
Ideally the module system could be configured pretty much completely by
the contents of the modules themselves, so add comments about avoiding
complicating it further and possibly removing now-redundant
configurability from the existing interface.

# From an end-user configuration file (`configuration'), build a NixOS
# configuration object (`config') from which we can retrieve option
# values.
# !!! Please think twice before adding to this argument list!
# Ideally eval-config.nix would be an extremely thin wrapper
# around lib.evalModules, so that modular systems that have nixos configs
# as subcomponents (e.g. the container feature, or nixops if network
# expressions are ever made modular at the top level) can just use
# types.submodule instead of using eval-config.nix
{ # !!! system can be set modularly, would be nice to remove
system ? builtins.currentSystem
, # !!! is this argument needed any more? The pkgs argument can
# be set modularly anyway.
