Can you add a description of what the primop does to the PR motivation?

I've added the three lines at the start.

Triaged in the Nix Team meeting this morning (n.b. I could not make it):

  • Needs to explain what it's about in the PR description
    • @roberth has the context and can do, and now has done so.
  • Also needs to be discussed with the Nixpkgs architecture team to see whether they actually want that

@Ericson2314 do you need help with that? I could quickly take it over if you like, as I have enough context and ideas to finish it. I need a bit more time to ramp up with the your store docs PRs.

@fricklerhandwerk I think it would be good to do the a deriving path page first, and then you take this over (and some things here can just reference that rather than include redundant material).

Draft because I wanted deriving paths to be documented first

I think it's pretty useful the way it is. In fact we could already add the glossary entry on deriving paths independently. If you want I can pick up the string contexts part from there and implement the suggestions myself.
