doc/../rust.section.md: prominently mention
buildRustXX
names
This was a source of massive confusion for me when I first learned my way around nixpkgs' rust machinery. I seek to save others from that confusion. * `buildRustPackage` should have been named `buildRustPackageUsingCargo` * `buildRustCrate` should have been named `buildRustPackageUsingNix` It is, unfortunately, too late to fix this. Let's do the next best thing and make the names `buildRustPackage` and `buildRustCrate` very prominent in the documentation, so readers see immediately that they need to learn the following jargon: * `buildRustPackage` means "build this Rust crate by calling `cargo` in one (or two) monolithic derivations" * `buildRustCrate` means "build this Rust crate by calling `rustc` in one derivation for each crate"
