 The only new interface proposed is a boolean field to the package meta telling Cargo that the
 package does not depend on libstd by default. This need not imply Rust's `no_std`, as one might want

 The meaning of this flag is defined in 3 phases, where each phase extends the last. The idea being
 is that while earlier phases are easier to implement, later phases yield a more elegant system.
