/// @class SystemRuntime SystemRuntime.h "lldb/Target/SystemRuntime.h"
/// @brief A plug-in interface definition class for system runtimes.
///
/// The system runtime plugins can collect information from the system
/// libraries during a Process' lifetime and provide information about
/// how objects/threads were originated.
///
/// For instance, a system runtime plugin use a breakpoint when threads
/// are created to record the backtrace of where that thread was created.
/// Later, when backtracing the created thread, it could extend the backtrace
/// to show where it was originally created from.  
///
/// The plugin will insert its own breakpoint when Created and start collecting
/// information.  Later when it comes time to augment a Thread, it can be
/// asked to provide that information.
