-          <listitem>
-            <para>
-              Evaluates the expression <replaceable>e</replaceable>,
-              which must yield a path value.  The Nix expression
-              stored at this path in the file system is then read,
-              parsed, and evaluated.  Returns the result of the
-              evaluation of the Nix expression just read.

-              the expression stored in <filename>foo.nix</filename>

-              representing its <emphasis>base name</emphasis>.  This
-              is the substring following the last path separator
-              (<literal>/</literal>).
