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.
# Inputs
`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.
`lhs`
: Left attribute set of the merge.
`rhs`
: Right attribute set of the merge.

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`.
:::{.warning}
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.

# Examples
:::{.example}
## `lib.strings.addContextFrom` usage example

The context can be displayed using the `toString` function:
```nix
nix-repl> builtins.getContext (lib.strings.addContextFrom pkgs.coreutils "bar")
{
"/nix/store/m1s1d2dk2dqqlw3j90jl3cjy2cykbdxz-coreutils-9.5.drv" = { ... };
