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.
