-  <title>Debugging Nix Expressions</title>
-
-  <para>
-   Nix is a unityped, dynamic language, this means every value can potentially
-   appear anywhere. Since it is also non-strict, evaluation order and what
-   ultimately is evaluated might surprise you. Therefore it is important to be
-   able to debug nix expressions.

-
-  <para>
-   In the <literal>lib/debug.nix</literal> file you will find a number of
-   functions that help (pretty-)printing values while evaluation is runnnig.
-   You can even specify how deep these values should be printed recursively,
-   and transform them on the fly. Please consult the docstrings in
-   <literal>lib/debug.nix</literal> for usage information.
