Take an *attrset* with values named `startSet` and `operator` in order to
return a *list of attrsets* by starting with the `startSet`, recursively
applying the `operator` function to each element. The *attrsets* in the
`startSet` and produced by the `operator` must each contain value named
`key` which are comparable to each other. The result is produced by
repeatedly calling the operator for each element encountered with a
unique key, terminating when no new elements are produced. For example,
return a *list of attrsets* by starting with the `startSet` and recursively
applying the `operator` function to each `item`. The *attrsets* in the
`startSet` and the *attrsets* produced by `operator` must contain a value
named `key` which is comparable. The result is produced by calling `operator`
for each `item` with a value for `key` that has not been called yet including
newly produced `item`s. The function terminates when no new `item`s are
produced. The resulting *list of attrsets* contains only *attrsets* with a
unique key. For example,
