Where is `overrideScope'` documented?

The only docs I am aware of is in the source comment:

NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/8e84cafcd9350ce11e3f630003b859d4c70a483a/lib/customisation.nix#L199-L207


      
          /* Make a set of packages with a common scope. All packages called
             with the provided `callPackage' will be evaluated with the same
             arguments. Any package in the set may depend on any other. The
             `overrideScope'` function allows subsequent modification of the package
             set in a consistent way, i.e. all packages in the set will be
             called with the overridden packages. The package sets may be
             hierarchical: the packages in the set are called with the scope
             provided by `newScope' and the set provides a `newScope' attribute
             which can form the parent scope for later package sets. */
