There is (intentionally) no documentation to this module.
But it shall be rather easy to understand once you read the chapter on
interfacing with C in the reference manual, which gives lots of
information about how values are represented physically.

These primitives are handled in a special way by the compiler.
For "%identity", it is simply discarded, as you might expect.
Some others are converted to instructions of the abstract machine.
And finally some may really call C primitives.
The only way to really know what happens is to read the compiler's
sources.
