Tests are supposed to be deterministic, so as such, it makes sense for
tests to be normal derivations, as is currently the case.
In that spirit, we should instead tweak <virtual-machine> so that we can
instruct it to build an autonomous VM with its own store.
OTOH, we could also have ‘container-eval’, similar to ‘remote-eval’,
which would be useful for effectful code, such as code that needs to
interact with the daemon. Food for thought!
Thanks,
Ludo’.
