/* 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.
