Unify the concepts of successors and substitutes into a general notion
of <emphasis>equivalent expressions</emphasis>. Expressions are
equivalent if they have the same target paths with the same
identifiers. However, even though they are functionally equivalent,
they may differ stronly with respect to their <emphasis>performance
characteristics</emphasis>. For example, realising a slice is more
efficient that realising the derivation from which that slice was
produced. On the other hand, distributing sources may be more
efficient (storage- or bandwidth-wise) than distributing binaries. So
we need to be able to attach weigths or priorities or performance
annotations to expressions; Nix can then choose the most efficient
expression dependent on the context.
