843288a451 add subsections for objects and references 
group description of data instead of spreading it across the section.

that should help direct skimming. as it turns out, people do not
actually read any of that.

207992a71d introduce store and store objects without file system details 
this leaves open implementation details, especially about store paths
and file system objects, and allows explaining them together were it is
more appropriate. also leaves room to carefully introduce the key
insight behind Nix: applying results from programming language theory to
the operating system paradigm of files and processes.

d5eea66615 introduce build tasks 
while it appears a bit much for the overview, this way we set the stage
for going directly into data types when describing the store, instead of
first having to say what build tasks are and how they relate to build
plans.

2303f84a68 revert to "build plan" in overview diagram 
this displays correct composition again. build inputs and build results
are not part of build plans in terms of data objects.

also this is a much less complicated setup. this will be the first
impression of architecture, and we want to get it right.

902638c519 build step -> build rule

our case consists of mapping inputs to outputs using build instructions.

behind it. the manual has to render to `man`, but we may want something
more refined for web view.

523359d133 WIP: Document the design of Nix 
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why
are things the way they are".

I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we
would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people
currently turn to the thesis for.

I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.

3272afa17b doc: Port anchors preprocessor to jq script 
Python is only pulled into the build closure by Mercurial, which might end up being removed.
Let’s port the script to jq, which is more likely to stay.

4de84e095d doc: Introduce pre-processor for adding anchors to text 
It is now possible to use the following syntax to insert anchors into the text:

    []{#anchor-name}

The anchor will allow linking to the location it is placed by appending #anchor-name to the URL.

Additionally, it is possible to create a link pointing to its own location by adding text between the square brackets:

    [`--add-root`]{#opt-add-root}

5b8c1deb18 fetchTree: Allow fetching plain files 
Add a new `file` fetcher type, which will fetch a plain file over
http(s), or from the local file.

Because plain `http(s)://` or `file://` urls can already correspond to
`tarball` inputs (if the path ends-up with a know archive extension),
the URL parsing logic is a bit convuluted in that:

- {http,https,file}:// urls will be interpreted as either a tarball or a
  file input, depending on the extensions of the path part (so
  `https://foo.com/bar` will be a `file` input and
  `https://foo.com/bar.tar.gz` as a `tarball` input)
- `file+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `file` urls (with
  the `file+` part removed)
- `tarball+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `tarball` urls (with
  the `tarball+` part removed)

This adds a new command, :bl, which works like :b but also creates
a GC root symlink to the various derivation outputs.

660c19eb49 manual: Add some anchor targets for the nix.conf options 
For each `nix.conf` option, add an empty html node with a unique `id`
that can be used as an anchor target. Also make the name of the option
be a link to that target so that it’s easily discoverable.

We can’t rewrite the whole list as an html definition list like it’s
done for the builtins because these options also appear in a man page,
and the manpage renderer (lowdown) can’t render arbitrary html. But the
hack here allows to keep the manpage and have the links in the html
version.

00c993f48b add zipAttrsWith primop 
nixpkgs can save a good bit of eval memory with this primop. zipAttrsWith is
used quite a bit around nixpkgs (eg in the form of recursiveUpdate), but the
most costly application for this primop is in the module system. it improves
the implementation of zipAttrsWith from nixpkgs by not checking an attribute
multiple times if it occurs more than once in the input list, allocates less
values and set elements, and just avoids many a temporary object in general.

nixpkgs has a more generic version of this operation, zipAttrsWithNames, but
this version is only used once so isn't suitable for being the base of a new
primop. if it were to be used more we should add a second primop instead.

docs: Correct fallback user config path

It also better matches the reality, where ~/.config/nix.conf does not seem to be used.

c5f5d615a6 Cleanup the generation of the nix3 manpages 
Use a dedicated make target for the man page rather than bundling the
generation as part of `install`.
Also make sure that `make install` is a fixpoint by

- Removing the generated markdown files from `MANUAL_SRCS`
- Not having the manpage generation write in its source directory so as
  to not update its timestamp (it would run each time otherwise)

This looks a lot better (and is also more semantically meaningful).

Since this list is generated in a Nix expression, I don't think using
HTML here is going to be the thing that puts people off modifying this
part of the documentation!

They are equivalent according to
<https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#hard-line-breaks>,
and the trailing spaces tend to be a pain (because the make git
complain, editors tend to want to remove them − the `.editorconfig`
actually specifies that − etc..).

Initialize plugins after handling initial command line flags 
This is technically a breaking change, since attempting to set plugin
files after the first non-flag argument will now throw an error. This
is acceptable given the relative lack of stability in a plugin
interface and the need to tie the knot somewhere once plugins can
actually define new subcommands.

Fix Haskell example 
http://nixos.org redirects to https://nixos.org and apparently the HTTP library doesn't follow the redirect, so the output is empty.
When defining https in the request it crashes because the library doesn't seem to support https.
So this switches the example to a different http library.
