add anchor to `builtins.derivation` and list some built-in functions that are exposed in the global scope. I decided not to list everything, because we probably don't want to encourage people using them that way.

# Built-in Functions
|
|
|
|
This section lists the functions built into the Nix language evaluator.
|
|
All built-in functions are available through the global [`builtins`](./builtin-constants.md#builtins-builtins) constant.
|
|
|
|
For convenience, some built-ins are can be accessed directly:
|
|
|
|
- [`derivation`](#builtins-derivation)
|
|
- [`import`](#builtins-import)
|
|
- [`abort`](#builtins-abort)
|
|
- [`throw`](#builtins-throw)
|
