    "The root package of the Ceylon language module, functioning
     as the core of the [Ceylon platform][sdk], and covering the
     following areas of functionality:

     - the foundational types [[Anything]], [[Object]], and
       [[Null]], and a [[logical boolean|Boolean]] type,
     - abstractions of [[numeric|Numeric]] types, along with
       basic types representing [[integral|Integer]] and
       [[floating point|Float]] values,
     - [[characters|Character]] and [[character strings|String]],
     - [[unsigned bytes|Byte]],
     - support for functional programming with
       [[streams|Iterable]],
     - abstract interfaces for unmodifiable [[lists|List]],
       [[sets|Set]], and [[maps|Map]],
     - a low-level abstraction of native [[arrays|Array]],
     - immutable [[sequences|Sequential]], [[ranges|Range]], and
       [[tuples|Tuple]], which provide the foundation for
       representing [[function types|Callable]] and lists of
       function arguments,
     - generic higher-order functions, including for function
       [[composition|compose]] and [[partial application|curry]],
     - [[exceptions|Throwable]] and support for management of
       heavyweight [[destroyable|Destroyable]] and
       [[obtainable|Obtainable]] objects,
     - support for loading [[resources|Resource]] packaged with
       a module,
     - access to information about the current
       [[virtual machine|runtime]], [[system|system]],
       [[process]], and [[operating system|system]], and
     - support for definition of [[annotations|Annotation]].

     Finally, this module defines the [[most useful and
     interesting void function of all time ever|print]].
