+Nix builtins
+============
+
+Nix has a lot of built-in functions, some of which are accessible in
+the global scope, and some of which are only accessible through the
+global `builtins` attribute set.
+
+This document is an attempt to track all of these builtins, but
+without documenting their functionality.
+
+See also https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/expressions/builtins.html
+
+The `impl` column indicates implementation status in tvix:
+- implemented: "" (empty cell)
+- not yet implemented, but not blocked: `todo`
+- not yet implemented, but blocked by other prerequisites:
+  - `store`: awaiting eval<->store api(s)
+  - `context`: awaiting support for string contexts
