users.sterni.nix.utf8 implements UTF-8 decoding in pure nix. We
implement the decoding as a simple state machine which is fed one byte
at a time. Decoding whole strings is possible by subsequently calling
step. This is done in decode which uses builtins.foldl' to get around
recursion restrictions and a neat trick using builtins.deepSeq puck
showed me limiting the size of the thunks in a foldl' (which can also
cause a stack overflow).
This makes decoding arbitrarily large UTF-8 files into codepoints using
nix theoretically possible, but it is not really practical: Decoding a
36KB LaTeX file I had lying around takes ~160s on my laptop.

switch would probably otherwise be called match, but has been renamed so
it isn't confused with string.match and the enum matching capabilities
yants has.
It implements the closest to pattern matching nix can come which is
still flexible enough to not be painful: Syntactically it works like
cond, but is given a value. Instead of booleans it checks passed
predicates or equality if simple values are passed. Both types of checks
can be mixed.

Since nix ends the substring at the end of the string anyways we can
just statically use the largest nix integer as the length of the string.
According to my testing this it ever so slightly faster as well.

After all it only matches strings.

What you see here is mostly the fallout of me implementing a correct
urlencode implementation in nix for Profpatsch's blog implementation
(although they'll probably keep it at arm's length).
Where I want to go from here:
* Extend this library towards general purpose nix™, mainly by
implementing missing interfaces which you'd still have to use
<nixpkgs/lib> for right now. Reexposing parts of <nixpkgs/lib>
with better naming is fine for now, at some point I'd contemplate
making this depend on nothing outside of depot, maybe even itself
(should be easy we only use yants for an easily replaceable check).
* Improve error messages possibly by carefully reintroducing yants. I
originally typed essentially everything using yants, but turns out
this can a) be dangerous when stuff you are handling throws because
type checking means evaluating and b) has a incredible performance
cost in some cases.
* Reexpose builtins with better naming and slightly wrapped so they
don't unrecoverably throw in cases where a null or something would
suffice.

This way ci should pick up on clhs-lookup since only a single derivation
is exposed with the default.nix and it is less cumbersome to type the
attribute path (users.sterni.clhs.clhs-lookup →
users.sterni.clhs-lookup). The exposed CLHS wasn't used for anything
anyways and I can always expose it again using passthru or extra if it's
ever merged.

Probably very similar to M-x sly-hyperspec-lookup: take a list of
common lisp symbols on the command line open the corresponding pages
in a local copy of the hyperspec in $BROWSER. Optionally the paths can
be printed to stdout.
