Note libcore

Core Library

The Core Library (libcore) complements the Standard Library (libstd) in the following fashion:

• core is automatically 'use'd in any crate, unless you ask for --no-core when running the compiler.
• everything in core will be automatically imported into the crate you're building, again, unless you pass --no-core
