# !!! this should be of the following type:

# Having unique `value' _or_ multiple `list' is much more useful
# than just sticking everything together with ':' unconditionally.
# Anyway, to have this type mentioned above
# types.optionSet needs to be transformed into a type constructor
# (it has a !!! mark on that in nixpkgs)
# for now we hack all this to be
type = types.functionTo (types.attrsOf (types.listOf types.string));
