Does the same as the update operator ' // ' except that attributes are
merged until the given predicate is verified . The predicate should
accept 3 arguments which are the path to reach the attribute , a part of
the first attribute set and a part of the second attribute set . When
the predicate is satisfied , the value of the first attribute set is
replaced by the value of the second attribute set .

` pred `
: Predicate , taking the path to the current attribute as a list of strings for attribute names , and the two values at that path from the original arguments .

Convert a string ` s ` to a list of characters ( i . e . singleton strings ) .
This allows you to , e . g . , map a function over each character . However ,
note that this will likely be horribly inefficient ; Nix is not a
general purpose programming language . Complex string manipulations
should , if appropriate , be done in a derivation .
Also note that Nix treats strings as a list of bytes and thus doesn't
handle unicode .

Appends string context from string like object ` src ` to ` target ` .

This is an implementation
detail of Nix and should be used carefully .
: : :
Strings in Nix carry an invisible ` context ` which is a list of strings
representing store paths . If the string is later used in a derivation
attribute , the derivation will properly populate the inputDrvs and
inputSrcs .
# Inputs
` src `
: The string to take the context from . If the argument is not a string ,
it will be implicitly converted to a string .
` target `
: The string to append the context to . If the argument is not a string ,
it will be implicitly converted to a string .

## `lib.strings.addContextFrom` usage example
` ` ` nix

addContextFrom pkgs . coreutils " b a r "
= > " b a r "
` ` `
The context can be displayed using the ` toString ` function :
` ` ` nix
nix-repl > builtins . getContext ( lib . strings . addContextFrom pkgs . coreutils " b a r " )
