Valentin Gagarin f00a5eb11b introduce lookup paths as a distinct language construct 
so far they did not really have a name, and were at best referred to as

Lookup path

Syntax

lookup-path = < identifier [ / identifier ]... >

A lookup path is an identifier with an optional path suffix that resolves to a path value if the identifier matches a search path entry.

The value of a lookup path is determined by builtins.nixPath.

See builtins.findFile for details on lookup path resolution.
