+This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system node)}.  It
+implements the build procedure used by @uref{http://nodejs.org,
+Node.js}, which implements an approximation of the @code{npm install}
+command, followed by an @code{npm test} command.

 Lastly, for packages that do not need anything as sophisticated, a
 ``trivial'' build system is provided.  It is trivial in the sense that
 it provides basically no support: it does not pull any implicit inputs,
