Previously, for types defined using typedef (like all primitive types)
type.checkType would return a boolean. This is largely fine since in
most places `type.checkToBool (type.checkType x)` or similar is used.
However, some functions actually take type.checkType up on the promise
that it returns a set of the form:
{
ok = <bool>;
err = <option string>;
}
This is the case for restrict which has checkToBool = v: v.ok; and will
generate a proper set except if `t.checkToBool (t.checkType v) == false`
in which case it will return t.checkType v. If t was a primitive type or
defined using typedef, previously `t.checkType v` would be a boolean
which meant as soon as (restrict …).checkToBool was called on a restrict
checkType result in cases where the wrapped type didn't match, an
unrelated error would be thrown:
nix-repl> with nix.yants; restrict "foo" (_: true) int "lol"
error: value is a boolean while a set was expected, at /home/lukas/src/depot/nix/yants/default.nix:38:39
This is fixed by making typedef return a proper set from checkType and
adjusting its checkToBool accordingly.
Unfortunately I don't think we can easily add test cases for this except
by using recursive nix or VM tests as there is no way to introspect
error messages.

By using an extremely trivial derivation we can ensure that it will not
throw if evaluated using deepSeq. When using stdenv.mkDerivation or
similar at some point something will most likely throw or generate some
kind of error which is alright in the context of nixpkgs, but makes
testing yants harder than you'd think it should be.

Port existing tests to runTestsuite and add some obvious additional
tests that wouldn't be possible before (using assertThrows and
assertEq).

`restrict` uses a predicate function to restrict a type, giving the
restricting a descriptive name in the process.
First, the wrapped type definition is checked (e.g. int) and then the
value is checked with the predicate, so the predicate can already
depend on the value being of the wrapped type.

This subtree split makes it possible for people to clone only
yants (similar to the kontemplate and journaldriver branches).
The subtree continues the history of the old git repository.
