The `rt` module provides the private runtime infrastructure necessary
to support core language features like the exchange and local heap,
the garbage collector, logging, local data and unwinding. It also
implements the default task scheduler and task model. Initialization
routines are provided for setting up runtime resources in common
configurations, including that used by `rustc` when generating
executables.

It is intended that the features provided by `rt` can be factored in a
way such that the core library can be built with different 'profiles'
