# Nixpkgs/NixOS option handling.
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_.
