NixOS Option Inspection

NixOS modules are great; and it’s one of the superpowers of NixOS. They’re so great, there was a working group to look into how to apply the concept to Nixpkgs itself. For those uninitiated, there are plenty of guides online describing it’s value and purpose such as this one or on nix.dev. My largest complaint thus far with it was that it’s hard to go backwards. ⏪ “Who and what defined a particular option?” 🕵️
