              Additional arguments passed to each module in addition to ones
              like `lib`, `config`,
              and `pkgs`, `modulesPath`.

              This option is also available to all submodules. Submodules do not
              inherit args from their parent module, nor do they provide args to
              their parent module or sibling submodules. The sole exception to
              this is the argument `name` which is provided by
              parent modules to a submodule and contains the attribute name
              the submodule is bound to, or a unique generated name if it is
              not bound to an attribute.

              Some arguments are already passed by default, of which the
              following *cannot* be changed with this option:
              - {var}`lib`: The nixpkgs library.
              - {var}`config`: The results of all options after merging the values from all modules together.
              - {var}`options`: The options declared in all modules.
              - {var}`specialArgs`: The `specialArgs` argument passed to `evalModules`.
              - All attributes of {var}`specialArgs`

                Whereas option values can generally depend on other option values
                thanks to laziness, this does not apply to `imports`, which
                must be computed statically before anything else.

                For this reason, callers of the module system can provide `specialArgs`
                which are available during import resolution.

                For NixOS, `specialArgs` includes
                {var}`modulesPath`, which allows you to import
                extra modules from the nixpkgs package tree without having to
                somehow make the module aware of the location of the
                `nixpkgs` or NixOS directories.
                ```
                { modulesPath, ... }: {
                  imports = [
                    (modulesPath + "/profiles/minimal.nix")
                  ];
                }
                ```

              For NixOS, the default value for this option includes at least this argument:
              - {var}`pkgs`: The nixpkgs package set according to
                the {option}`nixpkgs.pkgs` option.
            '';

              If set, merge all definitions that don't have an associated option
              together using this type. The result then gets combined with the
              values of all declared options to produce the final `
              config` value.
