  1. Assertion syntax in error in the manual? 

    I'm a complete neophyte to Nix, but based on the example in manual and looking in `nixpkgs` a bit it seems like the actual `assert` syntax is `assert e1 -> e2`  not `assert e1; e2`.  If I'm got this garbled, please ignore of course, but even if so I think it's still worth pointing out that for a new learner this explanation and example _seem_ contradictory_  as written and could probably be clarified.
