/**
 * <p>Module vanadium defines the [Runtime]{@link module:vanadium~Runtime}
 * interface of the public Vanadium API
 * and its sub namespaces define the entire Vanadium public API.
 * It also defines the [init]{@link module:vanadium.init}
 * method which is used to initialize a
 * [runtime]{@link module:vanadium~Runtime} instance.</p>
 * <p>Once we reach a '1.0' version these public APIs will be stable over
 * an extended period and changes to them will be carefully managed to ensure
 * backward compatibility.</p>
 * <p>The current release is '0.1' and although we will do our best to maintain
 * backwards compatibility we can't guarantee that until we reach the '1.0'
 * milestone.
 * For more details about the Vanadium project,
 * please visit {@link https://vanadium.github.io}.</p>
