support mkDerivation finalAttrs call pattern?

[abathur]

I won't pretend to have the firmest grasp of this, but nixpkgs reviewers are leaning heavily on PR authors to use the mkDerivation (finalAttrs: ...) pattern first added in:

• stdenv.mkDerivation: overlay style overridable recursive attributes NixOS/nixpkgs#119942

After skimming related PRs, my best guess is that I'll want to wait to tackle this until the following PR implementing lib.extendMkDerivation lands:

• lib.extendMkDerivation: init NixOS/nixpkgs#234651

Since resholve's mkDerivation will need work to support this and it doesn't look immediately tractable, there'll probably be an increasing number of people getting asked to implement this (as in NixOS/nixpkgs#224881 (comment)) only to run into a dead end for now.

Any news about it?
