Long 7 days ;)

Here are the links from my bookmarks, for those who want to look into fixing this:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/24314
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/virtualization/docker/default.nix
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/5331
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/626
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/440
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/shells/fish/default.nix

If it helps, because our zsh integration (for zsh-extensions) isn't that good
either and the links reference some of the Zsh work in Nix:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/programs/zsh/zsh.nix
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/003cd41310b5b7839eb4c402d84dc25068026c3e
