     "/path/to/secret" in the output JSON.

     When a configuration option accepts an attrset that is finally
     converted to JSON, this makes it possible to let the user define
     arbitrary secret values.

       "topsecretpassword1234",

       genJqSecretsReplacementSnippet {

       {
         "example": [
           {
