+/**
+  `replaceVarsWith` is a wrapper around the [bash function `substitute`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#fun-substitute)
+  in the stdenv. It allows for terse replacement of names in the specified path, while checking
+  for common mistakes such as naming a replacement that does nothing or forgetting a variable which
+  needs to be replaced.
+
+  As with the [`--subst-var-by`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#fun-substitute-subst-var-by)
+  flag, names are encoded as `@name@` in the provided file at the provided path.
+
+  Any unmatched variable names in the file at the provided path will cause a build failure.
+
+  By default, any remaining text that matches `@[A-Za-z_][0-9A-Za-z_'-]@` in the output after replacement
+  has occurred will cause a build failure. Variables can be excluded from this check by passing "null" for them.
+
+  # Inputs
+
+  `src` ([Store Path](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/latest/store/store-path.html#store-path) String)
+  : The file in which to replace variables.
+
+  `replacements` (AttrsOf String)
+  : Each entry in this set corresponds to a `--subst-var-by` entry in [`substitute`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#fun-substitute) or
+    null to keep it unchanged.
+
+  `dir` (String)
+  : Sub directory in $out to store the result in. Commonly set to "bin".
+
+  `isExecutable` (Boolean)
+  : Whether to mark the output file as executable.
+
+  Most arguments supported by mkDerivation are also supported, with some exceptions for which
+  an error will be thrown.
+
+  # Example
+
+  ```nix
+  { replaceVarsWith }:
+
+  replaceVarsWith {
+    src = ./my-setup-hook.sh;
+    replacements = { world = "hello"; };
+    dir = "bin";
+    isExecutable = true;
+  }
+  ```
+
+  See `../../test/replace-vars/default.nix` for tests of this function. Also see `replaceVars` for a short
+  version with src and replacements only.
