# resolved. At that point, the final result is returned and `f x = x` holds:
#
# nix-repl> fix f

#
# See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_combinator for further
# details.
fix = f: let x = f x; in x;

# for a concrete example.

# Modify the contents of an explicitly recursive attribute set in a way that

# g = self: super: { foo = super.foo + " + "; }
#
# that has access to the unmodified input (`super`) as well as the final
# non-recursive representation of the attribute set (`self`). `extends`
# differs from the native `//` operator insofar as that it's applied *before*
# references to `self` are resolved:
#
# nix-repl> fix (extends g f)
# { bar = "bar"; foo = "foo + "; foobar = "foo + bar"; }
#
# The name of the function is inspired by object-oriented inheritance, i.e.
# think of it as an infix operator `g extends f` that mimics the syntax from
# Java. It may seem counter-intuitive to have the "base class" as the second
# argument, but it's nice this way if several uses of `extends` are cascaded.
