Select the attribute denoted by attribute path *attrpath* from attribute set *attrset*.
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 doesnt exist, return *value* if provided, otherwise abort evaluation.

## Comparison

- Lexicographic comparison for strings and paths
- Lexicographic comparison for lists:
- Arithmetic comparison for [number]s
- Lexicographic comparison for [string]s and [path]s
- Lexicographic comparison for [list]s:
Elements at the same index in both lists are compared according to their type and skipped if they are equal.
