I haven't seen a document comparing the goals of both directly, but
individually each project stated differing goals:
- Batteries aims to be a compatible _extension_ of stdlib (so minimal or
no changes required for code already using stdlib)
- Core is an incompatible _replacement_ for stdlib, aiming to take the
greatest advantage of the type system (existing code would have to be
updated to use Core's API)
