commit 954188af2747e796eb4428c493db9aa06ed1af38
Author: Eelco Dolstra <address@hidden>

    Filter Nix-specific ANSI escape sequences from stderr
    
    The Nixpkgs stdenv prints some custom escape sequences to denote
    nesting and stuff like that. Most terminals (e.g. xterm, konsole)
    ignore them, but some do not (e.g. xfce4-terminal). So for the benefit
    of the latter, filter them out.
