//! The [Runtime] module is the interface for [crate::component::Component]
//! to access shared resources. These include thread pool, memory allocators and other shared resources.
//!
//! The [Runtime] holds the primary [`CancellationToken`] which can be used to terminate all attached
//! [`crate::component::Component`].
//!
//! We expect in the future to offer topologically aware thread and memory resources, but for now the
//! set of resources is limited to the thread pool and cancellation token.
//!
//! Notes: We will need to do an evaluation on what is fully public, what is pub(crate) and what is
//! private; however, for now we are exposing most objects as fully public while the API is maturing.
