Motivation for this change
Curious to see how we could use a fixed-point combinator like is done with Haskell. This should make it a lot easier when we have #16005 in. But, this is going to break a lot of code.

nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
./result/bin/
)This is mostly just an experiment. I think if we're going this direction we might have to find a way to keep the current route working.
