//! Host facts, directories, user identity, resources, and autostart primitives.
//!
//! Callers ask what is true of this host and this process -- who am I, am I
//! elevated -- and decide for themselves what that means. Whether the answer
//! came from a uid comparison or a token query is not something a caller
//! should have to know, or be able to tell.
