bazel-rules

Since bazelbuild/rules_rust#612 we test more stuff on Windows, we don't test everything though. //test/rustfmt is currently disabled in .bazelci/presubmit.yml.

Feel free to comment on this issue if you want to know more or you want to give it a shot. We are happy to talk or help :)

How to fix when you don't have a Windows machine:

1. delete the line with ` - "-//t

See if we can replace sanitize_string_for_usage with code from skylib (existing or to contribute back).
Motivation for generalization- Recurring pattern of sanitizing inputs

yaml.reader.ReaderError: unacceptable character #x1f48e: special characters are not allowed
in "", position 1195

This seems to come from the python yaml reader which incorrectly rejects special unicode characters.
The character in particular is 💎, which kubernetes gladly accepts as valid unicode.

For the oses that use a real diff binary, can we add an option to select unified vs context diff output (-c vs -u)?

I don't mind putting in a PR, if this is something that would be accepted 😸

The documentation of the hidden_modules attribute of the haskell_library rules currently says:

Modules that should be unavailable for import by dependencies.

The text itself is wrong, since dependencies of the haskell_library rule cannot import any modules of it. But there are also a couple of situations that need to be explained.

Non-existent modules

using rules_node with the nixpkgs node is extremely painful and requires the workaround specified in bazelbuild/rules_nodejs#464 / bazelbuild/bazel#2927

Specifically:

    build_file_content = 'exports_files(glob(["nixpkgs
