Make `home.sessionVariables` work with nushell

[Kreyren]

Description

Currently i have to set the following:

  home.sessionVariables = {
    SHELL = "nu";
    TERM = "alacritty";
    EDITOR = "vim";
  };

  programs.nushell.extraEnv = ''
    # FIXME(Krey): This should be handled in `home.sessionVariables`
    $env.SHELL = "nu";
    $env.TERM = "alacritty"
    $env.EDITOR = "vim";

    # Include local binaries
    $env.PATH = ($env.PATH | split row (char esep) | append ($env.HOME | path join '.local/bin'));
  ''; 

Because home.sessionVariables doesn't export the variables for nushell -> Make it work with nushell too?

Expected workflow:

  home.sessionVariables = {
    SHELL = "nu";
    TERM = "alacritty";
    EDITOR = "vim";
  };

  programs.nushell.extraEnv = ''
-    # FIXME(Krey): This should be handled in `home.sessionVariables`
-    $env.SHELL = "nu";
-    $env.TERM = "alacritty"
-    $env.EDITOR = "vim";
-
    # Include local binaries
    $env.PATH = ($env.PATH | split row (char esep) | append ($env.HOME | path join '.local/bin'));
  '';

It's been a few months now. Are there any plans for this?

quick fix that I haven't had time to cook into a PR / probably has compat problems:

    environmentVariables = builtins.mapAttrs (name: value: "\"${builtins.toString value}\"") config.home.sessionVariables;
