sterni 8615322bc8 refactor(sterni/nix/utf8): use genericClosure for decoding iteration ... builtins.genericClosure is a quite powerful (and undocumented) Nix primop: It repeatedly applies a function to values it produces and collects them into a list. Additionally individual results can be identified via a key attribute. Since genericClosure only ever creates a single list value internally, we can eliminate a huge performance bottleneck when building a list in a recursive algorithm: list concatenation. Because Nix needs to copy the entire chunk of memory used internally to represent the list, building big lists one element at a time grinds Nix to a halt. After rewriting decode using genericClosure decoding the LaTeX source of my 20 page term paper now takes 2s instead of 14min.
