here's where `curlWithGnuTLS` is defined https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/dbf6c323883ae7e00941f6... By convention, the packages that want curlWithGnuTLS specifically use that name as an argument. (That's because `callPackage` will use the argument names to find the values to assign to it).
In nix, customising these package arguments from the CLI isn't really ergonomic.
It sounds like with Spack, there's more emphasis on being able to specify those parameters from the command line when installing things.
