# Raw options can only be merged into submodules. Merging into
# attrsets might be nice, but ambiguous. Suppose we have
# attrset as a `attrsOf submodule`. User declares option
# attrset.foo.bar, this could mean:
# a. option `bar` is only available in `attrset.foo`
# b. option `foo.bar` is available in all `attrset.*`
# c. reject and require "<name>" as a reminder that it behaves like (b).
# d. magically combine (a) and (c).
# All options are merely syntax sugar though.
