Motivation for this change

Immensely helpful when you want to see the changes a function makes to
its value as it passes through.

Example:

$ nix-instantiate --strict --eval -E '(with import ./lib; traceFnSeqN 2 "id" (x: x) { a.b.c = 3; })'
trace: {
  fn = "id";
  from = {
    a = {
      b = {…};
    };
  };
  to = {
    a = {
      b = {…};
    };
  };
}
{ a = { b = { c = 3; }; }; }
