I'm not quite sure why that is, but I kinda like that, the policy
implementation should never export stuff.
Code outside the scheduler cannot ever know the policy of a task, hence
policy specific exports are bad.
A generic export with policy implementations (like the
sched_class::yield_to() proposal) are the proper way.
