## Attribute selection
> *e* `.` *attrpath* \[ `or` *def* \]
> *attrset* `.` *attrpath* \[ `or` *value* \]
Select the attribute denoted by attribute path *attrpath* from attribute set *e*.
Select the attribute denoted by attribute path *attrpath* from attribute set *attrset*.
An attribute path is a dot-separated list of attribute names.
If the attribute doesn’t exist, return *def* if provided, otherwise abort evaluation.
If the attribute doesn’t exist, return *value* if provided, otherwise abort evaluation.

Return a set consisting of all the attributes in *e1* and *e2*.
Update attribute set *attrset1* with names and values from *attrset2*.
The returned attribute set will have of all the attributes in *e1* and *e2*.

## Equality
> *e1* `==` *e2*
Check *e1* and *e2* for equality.
Check expressions *e1* and *e2* for value equality.
- Attribute sets and lists are compared recursively, and therefore are fully evaluated.
- Comparison of functions always returns `false`.
