libstd.so: What we call it? "library" "package" "crate"?? other language
usually call it "library".
std::io::fs: We call it "module", other language usually call it
"package" or "module".

.NET has a two-level distinction: assembly and namespace.
C++ has a three-level distinction in practice—namespace,
library/executable, and translation unit—although C++'s is somewhat
different.
OCaml has a two-level distinction: library and module.
D has a two-level distinction as far as I can tell: library and module.
Racket has a two-level distinction as far as I can tell: package and module.
