-  # merge attrs based on version key into mkDerivation args, see mergeAttrBy to learn about smart merge defaults

-  # This function is best explained by an example:
-  #
-  #     {version ? "2.x"}:
-  #
-  #     mkDerivation (mergeAttrsByVersion "package-name" version
-  #       { # version specific settings

-  # Please note that e.g. Eelco Dolstra usually prefers having one file for
-  # each version. On the other hand there are valuable additional design goals
-  #  - readability
-  #  - do it once only
-  #  - try to avoid duplication
-  #
-  # Marc Weber and Michael Raskin sometimes prefer keeping older
-  # versions around for testing and regression tests - as long as its cheap to
-  # do so.
-  #
-  # Very often it just happens that the "shared" code is the bigger part.
-  # Then using this function might be appropriate.
-  #
-  # Be aware that its easy to cause recompilations in all versions when using
-  # this function - also if derivations get too complex splitting into multiple
-  # files is the way to go.
