search path -> lookup path (#747) 
recent additions to the Nix manual clarify the distinction between
search path and lookup path, and also document the resolution algorithm.

lookup paths are now a distinct Nix language construct with its own
reference documentation.

Quote URLs in nix language tutorial 
Called out as an anti-pattern https://nix.dev/anti-patterns/language#unquoted-urls

This change is to make the docs more self-consistent, and promote good habits in the reader.

nix-language: attempt to simplify concept overview (#397)

Valentin Gagarin a2f10f337f fix wording on derivations 
most importantly, derivations are not a special data type, but only
a certain kind of attribute set with two magic attributes.

we don't go into the details of the magic here, because it's really hard
to explain concisely. it would only distract from the surface feature
we care about here: composition through store paths.

Valentin Gagarin ade558c532 rework parentheses example 
it was reported that the list example was confusing and lacked
explanation.

moved the example to function application, and reduced the syntax notes
to "notes on whitespace". moved the emphasis on the goals of this
tutorial to its proper place in the introduction.

it's good to leave the whitespace notes in the introductory part,
because they are unspecific and clearly belong to the "don't worry, it
may look weird, but that doesn't matter" part.

Johan Herland 7017fdbb00 Warn about combining paths and antiquotation too early in the tutorial 
This is the point in the tutorial where I started playing around with
paths and antiquotation in a `nix repl` session and got seriously
confused for a few minutes...
