    //
    // • `as_*(&self)` — borrow. Returns a reference or Copy type.
    //   Primitives (`as_bool`, `as_int`) force thunks transparently
    //   because they return owned Copy values. Reference accessors
    //   (`as_string`, `as_nix_string`, `as_attrs`, `as_list`) CANNOT
    //   force thunks (the forced value is transient and we can't
    //   return a borrow into it), so they error on Thunk inputs.
    //
    // • `to_*(&self)` — clone / force. Returns an owned value and
    //   DOES force thunks. Use when the value may be a thunk and you
    //   need an owned result. Examples: `to_float`, `to_string`,
    //   `to_attrs`, `to_list`.

    //   Path and String values (many builtins accept either).
