  /* Update or set specific paths of an attribute set.

     Takes a list of updates to apply and an attribute set to apply them to,
     and returns the attribute set with the updates applied. Updates are
     represented as `{ path = ...; update = ...; }` values, where `path` is a
     list of strings representing the attribute path that should be updated,
     and `update` is a function that takes the old value at that attribute path
     as an argument and returns the new
     value it should be.

     Properties:

     - Updates to deeper attribute paths are applied before updates to more
       shallow attribute paths

     - Multiple updates to the same attribute path are applied in the order
       they appear in the update list

     - If any but the last `path` element leads into a value that is not an
       attribute set, an error is thrown

     - If there is an update for an attribute path that doesn't exist,
       accessing the argument in the update function causes an error, but
       intermediate attribute sets are implicitly created as needed
