A brief note that aliases.nix are enabled by default for users of nixpkgs, and their use is only prohibited from within nixpkgs itself. In other words, nix-shell isn't really the determining factor here.

@mkg20001 @worldofpeace This PR causes eval errors for all PRs now, due to ofborg's "no aliases check". It's the 2nd ofborg eval causing commit this day! (cd1b594)

To do this change properly, you should iterate over all usages of spidermonkey and remove any usage of the alias.
