This explicitly documents behavior of C++ Nix that goes against the
intuition you'd gather from this document: that e.g. a simple select
from an attribute set causes a value to no longer be pointer equal to
its former self.
The point of documenting this is that we can show in a to be written
section on the use of pointer equality in nixpkgs that pointer equality
is only needed in a limited sense for evaluating it (C++ Nix's exterior
pointer equality). Tvix's pointer equality is far more powerful since
value identity preserving operations also preserve pointer equality,
generally speaking (this is because we implement interior pointer
equality in my made up terminology). This should eventually also be
documented.

I want to expand on the C++ Nix behavior, since it seems relevant to
note that a lot of operations in C++ Nix (like select) don't preserve
pointer equality (see
<https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3371#issuecomment-1596167957>).
It is especially so, as Tvix establishes pointer equality in a different
way and thus shows differing behavior. Therefore I want to additionally
document Tvix's current behavior and make it more explicit to what
extent nixpkgs needs pointer equality.

Main one is the its-it's mistake in the last paragraph, the rest was
suggested by LanguageTool.
