 *    TNeoKernel:                copyright © 2014       Dmitry Frank.
 *
 *    TNeoKernel was born as a thorough review and re-implementation of
 *    TNKernel. The new kernel has well-formed code, inherited bugs are fixed
 *    as well as new features being added, and it is tested carefully with
 *    unit-tests.
 *
 *    API is changed somewhat, so it's not 100% compatible with TNKernel,
 *    hence the new name: TNeoKernel.
