Shouldn't mention "fetcher infrastructure". Instead it can refer to the docs on flake references (https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.html#flake-references), specifically the attrset form.

There should be one or two examples here of how to use fetchTree.
It should also mention that fetchTree is experimental and that it requires a locked flakeref in pure eval mode (which is the default).
