The motivation here is that Unordered has now acquired a dependency
on SmartPtr, just for those primitives, which is seen as undesirable.
Putting them somewhere else, such as Thread, solves nothing, as a
dependency on Thread for those is much worse.
The alternative to moving them to Core is Unordered containing its own
local copy.
That everyone depends on Core doesn't mean we should pile everything in it.
Moving an existing implementation detail of library A into Core because
library B wants to use it doesn't feel wrong to me.

We don't have a better place for things like "a portable implementation of
__builtin_pause() if such a thing existed".
