types.functionTo: preserve function argument names

[CertainLach]

Preserve argument names with functions passed as functionTo without merging (e.g unique).

Makes the following definition work as expected for unique functions, as there is nothing to be "merged" (However I understand that underlying type might do something with merging of a single value itself).

       options.generator = mkOption {
         type = uniq (nullOr (functionTo package));
       ...
       config.generator = {a, b}: false;
       ...
       # Before:
       lib.functionArgs config.generator == {}
       # After:
       lib.functionArgs config.generator == { a = false; }

It would be great to make this behavior only enabled for unique functionTo types, but I don't think there is a way to perform such specialisation?
