Most builtins are now generated from data too, with two exceptions: * Undocumented builtins, since supporting them would add complexity to the generator, the harms of the current implementation mostly don't apply, and the proper fix is to document them. * `derivation` is somewhat magic (it is a function, but defined in the code as a constant), so the current treatment of having it separately documented is kept (for now, at least). Since it is slightly easier to do and probably a good idea anyway, the builtin function registrations generated this way are now processed directly in code and don't go through global variables any more. Unfortunately, a slight breaking change is introduced because the order of the builtins' names in the symbol table changes. Hopefully, this will turn out to not matter in practice.

Built-in Functions
This section lists the functions built into the Nix language evaluator.
All built-in functions are available through the global builtins constant.
For convenience, some built-ins can be accessed directly:
derivation attrsderivation is described in its own section.
