pierron recommended the use of types.string over mergeOptionString, as
it is superior but might break things.
For my system the change evaluated to the exactly same.

* Moved bash-specific code from /etc/profile to /etc/bashrc.
* Moved general Bourne shell code from /etc/bashrc to /etc/profile.
* Added "include guards" to both files to ensure that they aren't sourced
multiple times (which would result in lots of redundancy in $PATH, etc.).
* Both files include each other to make sure that the correct system
environment is always defined.
* When the current user has installed the 'bash-completion' package in her
$HOME/.nix-profile, programmable completion is automatically enabled in
interactive shells.
* The /etc/skel/.bashrc we installed has been dropped because it is redundant.

* Moved some scriptlets to the appropriate modules.
* Put the scriptlet that sets the default path at the start, since it
never makes sense not to have it there. It no longer needs to be
declared as a dependency.
* If a scriptlet has no dependencies, it can be denoted as a plain
string (i.e., `noDepEntry' is not needed anymore).
