"Carbon" originally meant "the Classic Mac OS Toolbox APIs, as adapted to
work on OS X". But Apple has been evolving the meaning, by rebranding those
parts of the APIs that will live on in 64-bit and beyond to be "Core" APIs,
while "Carbon" becomes "that which used to supported for transition to OS X
but is no longer being developed." To a large extent now "Core" is
lower-level stuff, and "Carbon" is UI stuff, but of course "Carbon" also
contains dregs of ancient stuff that is lower-level but won't move on
because it's pointless--consider parameter block routines in the File
Manager for instance.
