To change this setting, you need to make sure the corresponding experimental feature,
[`${experimentalFeature}`](@docroot@/contributing/experimental-features.md#xp-feature-${experimentalFeature}),
is enabled.
For example, include the following in [`nix.conf`](#):
```
extra-experimental-features = ${experimentalFeature}
${setting} = ...
```

# a StringMap value type is specified as a string, but

# JSON, but that converts to `{ }` here.
