Good good :)

It looks like the 0 and 1 thing is only an issue for the outputs and
inputs now, which is good.

As for how the sources end up like that, I think a list with a single
string might end up like that. Maybe try comparing a derivation to
itself (not a very useful query, but it might help generate some new
data to work with).

Sounds good,
