Adam is using different meanings to terminology we use.
A runtime in literature can also refer to the standard library, I did
warn him about this particular confusion as it does not match the D
communities understanding of the word.
Basically what he is suggesting is that there is a series of libraries
starting from what is needed to make ``new`` clean up (it doesn't have
to), eventloop and other core dependencies that things in our standard
library require to have a binary linked against for.
Either way it needs a binary to be inside of. Regardless of if we call
it part of phobos or druntime. It can't live as an import only library.
