+/// Mark the annotated module as a module for defining Nix builtins.
+///
+/// An optional type definition may be specified as an argument (e.g. `#[builtins(Rc<State>)]`),
+/// which will add a parameter to the `builtins` function of that type which is passed to each
+/// builtin upon instantiation. Using this, builtins that close over some external state can be
+/// written.
+///
+/// The type of each function is rewritten to receive a `Vec<Value>`, containing each `Value`
+/// argument that the function receives. The body of functions is accordingly rewritten to "unwrap"
+/// values from this vector and bind them to the correct names, so unless a static error occurs this
+/// transformation is mostly invisible to users of the macro.
+///
+/// A function `fn builtins() -> Vec<Builtin>` will be defined within the annotated module,
+/// returning a list of [`tvix_eval::Builtin`] for each function annotated with the `#[builtin]`
+/// attribute within the module. If a `state` type is specified, the `builtins` function will take a
+/// value of that type.
+///
+/// Each invocation of the `#[builtin]` annotation within the module should be passed a string
+/// literal for the name of the builtin.
+///
