lazy-recursive-merge #1

Cool project! I made https://www.npmjs.com/package/lazy-recursive-merge based in part on how Nix is lazy.

I wonder if it could be used here? The trick it uses is getters that evaluate given functions at get time. As long as there's no cycles it works.

Well, currently this project (nix2js) pretty much stalled because I haven't yet found any reliable way to work-around some mutual-recursive with+import exprs in nixpkgs/lib... see also: https://gist.github.com/zseri/bb8ed4f47123960f4231d6fa928599ac for normal lazy recursive definitions I use a async functions + p-lazy, which works reasonably well.
