* Allow a default value in attribute selection by writing

x.y.z or default

  (as originally proposed in
  https://mail.cs.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2009-September/002989.html).

  For instance, an expression like

    stdenv.lib.attrByPath ["features" "ckSched"] false args

  can now be written as

    args.features.ckSched or false
