"Minimal but complete." :-)

Perhaps too minimal, though. I can build everything I want on top of it, so
it's complete, but the amount of wheel reinventing will be huge.

For example, it's not configurable at runtime and doesn't support user
termination handlers (that will clean up things to make it possible for the
system assert() dialog, if there is one, to be seen.)
