The convention has changed to use `final` instead of `self` and `prev`
instead of `super`. This new convention is much easier to understand
especially for users that are new to Nix and Nixpkgs.
This change is notable in the Nixpkgs project code. I added a note
mentioning that the official documentation hasn't been update with
this information. The documentation is currently undergoing an
overhaul and that is why I believe this hasn't been reflected in the
nixpkgs documentation as of yet.

First and foremost this is being added because it was lacking, and
nix-1p strives to have fairly complete coverage of all useful
features.
Additionally, as pointed out by @nixinator in #6 there is some
surprising behaviour around how default arguments work in combination
with '@' and I thought this was worth noting.
Pipes inside of code blocks inside of tables seem to pose a challenge
for some Markdown renderers. Not a problem for Github's but this page
is occasionally embedded in other documentation (such as nixery.dev)
The highlighter expects that all code blocks are valid expressions (to
some degree) and highlights mismatches in dark red, which is not
particularly pleasant for the reader.
This introduces a "fake" attribute set in the `inherit` section to
please the highlighter.
These are not strictly speaking language features, but my intention
for this document is that someone can - after reading it - navigate a
large chunk of existing Nix code.
Adds the initial version originally published as a gist. This is
already slightly different from the gist in that it contains a section
on derivations.
This is not yet complete.
