/**
  Collection of functions useful for debugging
  broken nix expressions.

  * `trace`-like functions take two values, print
    the first to stderr and return the second.
  * `traceVal`-like functions take one argument
    which both printed and returned.
  * `traceSeq`-like functions fully evaluate their
    traced value before printing (not just to “weak
    head normal form” like trace does by default).
  * Functions that end in `-Fn` take an additional
    function as their first argument, which is applied
    to the traced value before it is printed.

  # -- TESTING --

  /**
    Evaluates a set of tests.

    A test is an attribute set `{expr, expected}`,
    denoting an expression and its expected result.

    The result is a `list` of __failed tests__, each represented as
    `{name, expected, result}`,

    - expected
      - What was passed as `expected`
    - result
      - The actual `result` of the test

    Used for regression testing of the functions in lib; see
    tests.nix for more examples.

    Important: Only attributes that start with `test` are executed.

    - If you want to run only a subset of the tests add the attribute `tests = ["testName"];`
