recognized as a path. `a.${foo}/b.${bar}` is a syntactically valid division
operation. `./a.${foo}/b.${bar}` is a path.
+ When a path appears in an antiquotation, and is thus coerced into a string,
+ the path is first copied into the Nix store and the resulting string is
+ the Nix store path. For instance `"${./foo.txt}" will cause `foo.txt` in
+ the current directory to be copied into the Nix store and result in the
+ string `"/nix/store/<HASH>-foo.txt"`.
+
+ Note that the Nix language assumes that all input files will remain
+ _unchanged_ during the course of the Nix expression evaluation.
+ If you for example antiquote a file path during a `nix repl` session, and
+ then later in the same session, after having changed the file contents,
+ evaluate the antiquotation with the file path again, then Nix will still
+ return the first store path. It will _not_ reread the file contents to
+ produce a different Nix store path.
