Sharding druntime is about giving a place to call home for things like 
an event loop or curl as a work around to having phobos be import only.

It is not really for splitting the compiler hooks out, while it does 
come into it, its not the same bit of design work.

Hence why I used "instead" as it accurately reflects how we got here.
