/// 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.
