Many of the implementations in `rt/array` are templates, so the
entire implementation should be available through object.d, not
just declarations.

In `core.internal`, I see utilities that appear to be intended
for use only within runtime, or "privately" imported by Phobos.
I do not see implementations for fundamental language features as
can be found in `rt`. The code in `rt/array` implementations for
fundamental language features, not utilities to be used privately
with druntime.

"rt can import core, but core can't import rt." makes it pretty
clear to me.
