/* Update or set specific paths of an attribute set.
Takes a list of updates to apply and an attribute set to apply them to,
and returns the attribute set with the updates applied. Updates are
represented as { path = ...; update = ...; } values, where `path` is a
list of strings representing the attribute path that should be updated,
and `update` is a function that takes the old value at that attribute path
as an argument and returns the new
value it should be.
Properties:
- Updates to deeper attribute paths are applied before updates to more
shallow attribute paths
- Multiple updates to the same attribute path are applied in the order
they appear in the update list
- If any but the last `path` element leads into a value that is not an
attribute set, an error is thrown
- If there is an update for an attribute path that doesn't exist,
accessing the argument in the update function causes an error, but
intermediate attribute sets are implicitly created as needed
Example:
updateManyAttrsByPath [
{
path = [ "a" "b" ];
update = old: { d = old.c; };
}
{
path = [ "a" "b" "c" ];
update = old: old + 1;
