⚠️⚠️ README's first code block is for a C program. A C++ program names
openkal-llvm-runtime instead — and naming both is an error rather than a
redundancy, because that package pins this one exactly and a version
requirement here does not float up:

error: dependency 'mcpplibs.openkal-musl' has irreconcilable versions:
  '0.10.0' requested by '<the program>'
  '0.9.0'  requested by 'mcpplibs.openkal-llvm-runtime@0.5.0'

Recorded because we got it wrong ourselves. The consumer who reported
openkal-linux#13 builds C++ — their own crash reports name libc++abi — and the
0.10.0 announcement told them to write openkal-musl = "0.10.0", which for their
build selects neither the new C library nor the old one. It does not resolve.

A version table is added so the next consumer answers this without asking, and so
the next release has an obvious place to be recorded.

Documentation only — no source, no criteria, no version change.

⚠️⚠️ README's first code block is for a C program, and a C++ program names
`openkal-llvm-runtime' INSTEAD. Naming both is not redundancy --- that package
pins this one exactly, a version requirement here does not float up, and a
program that names both gets neither:

    error: dependency 'mcpplibs.openkal-musl' has irreconcilable versions:
      '0.10.0' requested by '<the program>'
      '0.9.0'  requested by 'mcpplibs.openkal-llvm-runtime@0.5.0'

⭐ RECORDED BECAUSE WE GOT IT WRONG OURSELVES. The consumer who reported
openkal-linux#13 builds C++ --- their own reports name libc++abi --- and the
0.10.0 announcement told them to change

    openkal-musl = "0.10.0"

which for their build does not select the new C library and does not select the
old one either. It does not resolve. The correction is posted on that issue and
`openkal-llvm-runtime' 0.6.0 is what makes the right line exist.

⇒ A table, so that the next consumer answers this without asking and the next
release has an obvious place to be recorded.
