/* Automatically convert an attribute set to command-line options.
This helps protect against malformed command lines and also to reduce
boilerplate related to command-line construction for simple use cases.
Example:
encodeGNUCommandLine
{ }
{ data = builtins.toJSON { id = 0; };
X = "PUT";
retry = 3;
retry-delay = null;
url = [ "https://example.com/foo" "https://example.com/bar" ];
silent = false;
verbose = true;
};
=> "'-X' 'PUT' '--data' '{\"id\":0}' '--retry' '3' '--url' 'https://example.com/foo' '--url' 'https://example.com/bar' '--verbose'"
