`nixos-option` evals the description and the '`' is used to
define shell commands.
Due to this, the following error appears:
```
$ nixos-option services.postgresql.superUser
Value:
"root"
Default:
"root"
Description:
/run/current-system/sw/bin/nixos-option: line 294: root: command not found
/run/current-system/sw/bin/nixos-option: line 294: postgres: command not found
NixOS traditionally used as superuser, most other distros use .
From 17.09 we also try to follow this standard. Internal since changing this value
would lead to breakage while setting up databases.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-17.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
