06d3b28987 Revert "lib/generators: fix toPretty throwing on (partially applied) builtins"
This reverts commit d9a7d03da8c58aa863911506ae3153729f8931da.

Reason for this is that it actually doesn't migitate the issue on nix
stable for another reason: builtins.tryEval doesn't prevent the error
generated by builtins.functionArgs from halting evaluation:

> builtins.tryEval (builtins.functionArgs builtins.functionArgs)
error: 'functionArgs' requires a function, at (string):1:19

Thus it seems that there is no workaround to make
lib.generators.toPretty work with nix stable and primops since there is
no way to distinguish between primops and lambdas in nix.

d9a7d03da8 lib/generators: fix toPretty throwing on (partially applied) builtins
An high level example case of this problem occuring can be found below:

nix-repl> lib.generators.toPretty {} (lib.concatStringsSep "\n")
error: 'functionArgs' requires a function, at /home/lukas/src/nix/nixpkgs/lib/trivial.nix:334:42

However this does not happen on other partially applied functions:

nix-repl> lib.generators.toPretty {} (lib.concatMapStringsSep "\n")
"<function>"

The issue, as it turns out is that while builtins are functions,
builtins.functionArgs throws if is passed a builtin or a partially
applied builtin:

nix-repl> lib.generators.toPretty {} builtins.toString
error: 'functionArgs' requires a function, at /home/lukas/src/nix/nixpkgs/lib/trivial.nix:334:42

nix-repl> lib.generators.toPretty {} (builtins.foldl' (a: b: a + b))
error: 'functionArgs' requires a function, at /home/lukas/src/nix/nixpkgs/lib/trivial.nix:334:42

I'm pretty sure this qualifies as a nix bug and should be filed
accordingly, but we can work around it in lib.generators.toPretty by
using tryEval and falling back to {} which functionArgs _should_ return
for builtins.

The nix behavior is inconsistent to say the least:

nix-repl> builtins.functionArgs builtins.functionArgs
error: 'functionArgs' requires a function, at (string):1:1

nix-repl> builtins.typeOf builtins.functionArgs
"lambda"

builtins.functionArgs (a: 1 + a)
{ }

nix-repl> builtins.typeOf (a: 1 + a)
"lambda"

lib/generators.toPretty: Switch away from δ and λ
- These symbols can be confusing for those not familiar with them
- There's no harm in making these more obvious
- Terminals may not print them correctly either

Also changes the function argument printing slightly to be more obvious

dc72e8ac06 lib.generators.toPlist: add floats
Nix now supports floats & we can pretty easily map them to Plist’s
<real></real> type. Note that I am unsure how this affects older
version of Nix that may or may not have builtins.isFloat available.
Make sure this satisfies minver.nix’s "1.11" requirement.

fa71407f36 lib/generators: introduce a sane default for mkValueString
So far, `mkValueString` defaulted to `toString`,
which is a bad match for most configuration file formats,
especially because how booleans are formatted.
This also improves error messages for unsupported types.

Add a test to codify the formatting.

Add setFunctionArgs lib function.
Among other things, this will allow *2nix tools to output plain data
while still being composable with the traditional
callPackage/.override interfaces.

8e00dcd242 lib/generators: add mkValueString to mkKeyValueDefault generator
This means the generation of values can now be influenced, even down from e.g.
an INI generator.
Breaks the interface of `mkKeyValueDefault` to match its interface to other
generator functions. It might me sensible to rename `mkKeyValue` and
`mkKeyValueSet` to conform to the `toX`-style of generator functions.

Convert libs to a fixed-point
This does break the API of being able to import any lib file and get
its libs, however I'm not sure people did this.

I made this while exploring being able to swap out docFn with a stub
in #2305, to avoid functor performance problems. I don't know if that
is going to move forward (or if it is a problem or not,) but after
doing all this work figured I'd put it up anyway :)

Two notable advantages to this approach:

1. when a lib inherits another lib's functions, it doesn't
   automatically get put in to the scope of lib
2. when a lib implements a new obscure functions, it doesn't
   automatically get put in to the scope of lib

Using the test script (later in this commit) I got the following diff
on the API:

  + diff master fixed-lib
  11764a11765,11766
  > .types.defaultFunctor
  > .types.defaultTypeMerge
  11774a11777,11778
  > .types.isOptionType
  > .types.isType
  11781a11786
  > .types.mkOptionType
  11788a11794
  > .types.setType
  11795a11802
  > .types.types

This means that this commit _adds_ to the API, however I can't find a
way to fix these last remaining discrepancies. At least none are
_removed_.

Test script (run with nix-repl in the PATH):

  #!/bin/sh

  set -eux

  repl() {
      suff=${1:-}
      echo "(import ./lib)$suff" \
          | nix-repl 2>&1
  }

  attrs_to_check() {
      repl "${1:-}" \
          | tr ';'  $'\n' \
          | grep "\.\.\." \
          | cut -d' ' -f2 \
          | sed -e "s/^/${1:-}./" \
          | sort
  }

  summ() {
      repl "${1:-}" \
          | tr ' ' $'\n' \
          | sort \
          | uniq
  }

  deep_summ() {
      suff="${1:-}"
      depth="${2:-4}"
      depth=$((depth - 1))
      summ "$suff"

      for attr in $(attrs_to_check "$suff" | grep -v "types.types"); do
          if [ $depth -eq 0 ]; then
              summ "$attr" | sed -e "s/^/$attr./"
          else
              deep_summ "$attr" "$depth" | sed -e "s/^/$attr./"
          fi
      done
  }

      cd nixpkgs

      #git add .

5cbc6ca9bb lib/generators: put more information in toPretty lambdas
With `builtins.functionArgs` we can get some information if the first argument
is an attrset and whether the contained fields have default values. Encode that
into the pretty-printed lambda.

26eb10e771 lib: add generator functions for toJSON & toYAML
They both reference the toJSON builtin, so we get semantic identifiers
that express the intent of the generation.
Both should be able to map each nix value (minus functions) to the
destination config files.

Includes two invocation unit tests.

61311665cb lib: add ini configuration generator
Many configurations are INI-style files. Attribute sets can be mapped
rather painlessly to the INI format.
This adds a function toINI inside a new generators library section.
Also, unit tests for the default values are provided.
