So If I am understanding this, Overlays are a way to apply changes to the package via its definition using already existing mentions like overriding and such then propagating those changes outside to an entire set of packages.

Inside of this example would the sets that are changeable inside of .override like bar for example be the definitions made within the .nix file for a respective package? I'm trying to understand how I know what can be overridden.
enableTidy
I recently had a chance to take a look at the nano.nix file on github responsible for building nano. But I don't see where the enableTidy attribute is declared did you mean enableTiny by any chance?
It all makes sense now!
