  /**
    Transform a directory tree containing package files suitable for

    For a directory tree like this:

    ```
    my-packages
    ├── a.nix
    ├── b.nix
    ├── c
    │  ├── my-extra-feature.patch
    │  ├── package.nix
    │  └── support-definitions.nix
    └── my-namespace
       ├── d.nix
       ├── e.nix
       └── f
          └── package.nix
    ```

    `packagesFromDirectoryRecursive` will produce an attribute set like this:

    ```nix
    # packagesFromDirectoryRecursive {
    #   callPackage = pkgs.callPackage;
    #   directory = ./my-packages;
    # }
    {
      a = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/a.nix { };
      b = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/b.nix { };
      c = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/c/package.nix { };
      my-namespace = {
        d = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/my-namespace/d.nix { };
        e = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/my-namespace/e.nix { };
        f = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/my-namespace/f/package.nix { };
      };
    }
    ```

    In particular:
    - If the input directory contains a `package.nix` file, then
      `callPackage <directory>/package.nix { }` is returned.
    - Otherwise, the input directory's contents are listed and transformed into
      an attribute set.
      - If a regular file's name has the `.nix` extension, it is turned into attribute
        where:
        - The attribute name is the file name without the `.nix` extension
        - The attribute value is `callPackage <file path> { }`
      - Directories are turned into an attribute where:
        - The attribute name is the name of the directory
        - The attribute value is the result of calling
          `packagesFromDirectoryRecursive { ... }` on the directory.

        As a result, directories with no `.nix` files (including empty
        directories) will be transformed into empty attribute sets.
      - Other files are ignored, including symbolic links to directories and to regular `.nix`
        files; this is because nixlang code cannot distinguish the type of a link's target.

    # Type

    ```
    packagesFromDirectoryRecursive :: {
      callPackage :: Path -> {} -> a,
      newScope? :: AttrSet -> scope,
      directory :: Path,
    } -> AttrSet
    ```

    # Inputs

    `callPackage`
    : The function used to convert a Nix file's path into a leaf of the attribute set.
      It is typically the `callPackage` function, taken from either `pkgs` or a new scope corresponding to the `directory`.

    `newScope`
    : If present, this function is used when recursing into a directory, to generate a new scope.
      The arguments are updated with the scope's `callPackage` and `newScope` functions, so packages can require
      anything in their scope, or in an ancestor of their scope.

    `directory`
    : The directory to read package files from.

    # Examples
    :::{.example}
    ## Basic use of `lib.packagesFromDirectoryRecursive`

    ```nix
    packagesFromDirectoryRecursive {
      inherit (pkgs) callPackage;
      directory = ./my-packages;
    }
    => { ... }
    ```

    In this case, `callPackage` will only search `pkgs` for a file's input parameters.
    In other words, a file cannot refer to another file in the directory in its input parameters.
    :::

    ::::{.example}
    ## Create a scope for the nix files found in a directory
    ```nix
    packagesFromDirectoryRecursive {
      inherit (pkgs) callPackage newScope;
      directory = ./my-packages;
    }
    => { ... }
    ```

    For example, take the following directory structure:
    ```
    my-packages
    ├── a.nix    → { b }: assert b ? b1; ...
    └── b
       ├── b1.nix  → { a }: ...
       └── b2.nix
    ```

    Here, `b1.nix` can specify `{ a }` as a parameter, which `callPackage` will resolve as expected.
    Likewise, `a.nix` receive an attrset corresponding to the contents of the `b` directory.

    :::{.note}
    `a.nix` cannot directly take as inputs packages defined in a child directory, such as `b1`.
