          Polybar configuration. This takes a nix attrset and converts it to the
          strange data format that polybar uses.
          Each entry will be converted to a section in the output file.
          Several things are treated specially: nested keys are converted
          to dash-separated keys; the special <literal>text</literal> key is ignored as a nested key,
          to allow mixing different levels of nesting; and lists are converted to
          polybar's <literal>foo-0, foo-1, ...</literal> format.
