If you run something like `ack '\(install-file' -B 7| ack 'mkdir-p' -A 7' You can see them, since install-file already contains a mkdir-p. Also It seems like (let ((out (assoc-ref outputs "out")))...) is set in almost every package definition, as if having some symbol for the outputs already might be more efficient??
