/*

`dhallToNix` is a utility function to convert expressions in the Dhall
|
|
configuration language to their corresponding Nix expressions.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
dhallToNix "{ foo = 1, bar = True }"
|
|
=> { foo = 1; bar = true; }
|
|
dhallToNix "λ(x : Bool) → x == False"
|
|
=> x : x == false
|
|
dhallToNix "λ(x : Bool) → x == False" false
|
|
=> true
|
|
|
|
See https://hackage.haskell.org/package/dhall-nix/docs/Dhall-Nix.html for
|
|
a longer tutorial
|
|
|
|
Note that this uses "import from derivation", meaning that Nix will perform
|
|
a build during the evaluation phase if you use this `dhallToNix` utility
