-												Revert "Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)"

This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There
really is no need for such a massive change...

-												* Simplify the implementation of "derivation" a bit: lift out the
  common attribution so that they're evaluated only once, etc.  Note
  that the default output is now the first element of the "outputs"
  attribute, rather than the first element of the sorted list of
  outputs.  This seems more user-friendly.

-												derivation: Don't require certain function arguments

Turns out that in Nixpkgs, derivation is actually called without a
‘name’ argument in some places :-(

For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin":

  $ nix-build -A pkg

produces ./result pointing to the "out" output;

  $ nix-build -A pkg.man

produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output;

  $ nix-build -A pkg.all

produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin;
