/**
Functions that generate widespread file
formats from nix data structures.
They all follow a similar interface:
```nix
generator { config-attrs } data
```
`config-attrs` are holes in the generators
with sensible default implementations that
can be overwritten. The default implementations
are mostly generators themselves, called with
their respective default values; they can be reused.
Tests can be found in ./tests/misc.nix
