"""
|
|
This script is a helper for this project's Meson buildsystem, to replace its
|
|
usage of `nix eval --write-to`. Writing a JSON object as a nested directory
|
|
tree is more generic, easier to maintain, and far, far less cursed. Nix
|
|
has 'good' support for JSON output. Let's just use it.
