Update comments in the prelude

Browse source 
The comments say that the prelude imports std::io::println since it would
be annoying to have to import it in every program that uses it. However,
the prelude doesn't actually import that function anymore. So, update the
comments to better match reality.

@ -14,17 +14,8 @@ The standard module imported by default into all Rust modules
Many programming languages have a 'prelude': a particular subset of the
libraries that come with the language. Every program imports the prelude by
default.
For example, it would be annoying to add `use std::io::println;` to every single
program, and the vast majority of Rust programs will wish to print to standard
output. Therefore, it makes sense to import it into every program.
Rust's prelude has three main parts:
1. io::print and io::println.
2. Core operators, such as `Add`, `Mul`, and `Not`.
3. Various types and traits, such as `Clone`, `Eq`, and `comm::Chan`.
default. The prelude imports various core parts of the library that are
generally useful to many Rust programs.
