/**
Modular function type.
Compared to plain nix functions, adds input type-checks
at the cost of longer stack traces.
Usage:
```nix
{ lib, ... }:
{
options = {
my-function = lib.mkOption {
description = "My type-safe function invocation.";
type = lib.types.submodule PATH/TO/function.nix;
readOnly = true;
default = {
input-type = lib.types.int;
output-type = lib.types.int;
implementation = x: x + x;
};
};
};
config = {
my-function.apply "1"
};
}
```
A sample stack trace using this ends up like:
- `INVOKER.apply.<function body>``
- `function.nix`
- `INVOKER.wrapper.<function body>.output`
- `INVOKER.implementation.<function body>`
