Some of the functions cater to this specific setup so no need to export
them.

-     Signature:
-       list -> attrset
-     Where:
-       - `list` is a list of usernames as strings
-       - `attrset` is a set of valid users with the name as the key and the path as the value.

-       getUsers "home-manager" [ "foo-dogsquared" "archie" "brad" ]
