Merge sets of attributes and combine each attribute value in to a list. Similar to <xref linkend= "function-library-lib.attrsets.zipAttrsWith" /> where the merge function returns a list of all values.

Does the same as the update operator <literal > //</literal> except that attributes are merged until the given predicate is verified. The predicate should accept 3 arguments which are the path to reach the attribute, a part of the first attribute set and a part of the second attribute set. When the predicate is verified, the value of the first attribute set is replaced by the value of the second attribute set.

A recursive variant of the update operator <literal > //</literal> . The recursion stops when one of the attribute values is not an attribute set, in which case the right hand side value takes precedence over the left hand side value.
