This currently requires workarounds for the borrow checker not being flow-sensitive for `LinearMap` and `TrieMap`, but it can already be expressed for `TreeMap` and `SmallIntMap` without that.
`let v = [24, ..1000];` now more or less emits the same IR as:
```Rust
let mut i = 0;
while i < 1000 {
v[i] = 24;
i += 1;
}
```
LLVM will still turn it into a memset if possible with optimization on.
This makes the `trim` and `substr` functions return a slice instead of an `~str`, and removes the unnecessary `Trimmable` trait (`StrSlice` already contains the same functionality).
Also moves the `ToStr` implementations for the three str types into the str module in anticipation of further untangling.
The old string benchmarks weren't very useful because the strings weren't long enough, so I just threw those out for now. I left out benchmarks of `oldmap` because it's clear that it's 30-40% slower and it doesn't implement the `Map` trait.
This also cleanly divides up `insert`, `search` and `remove`.
Adds an assert_eq! macro that asserts that its two arguments are equal. Error messages can therefore be somewhat more informative than a simple assert, because the error message includes "expected" and "given" values.
r? @nikomatsakis The typechecker previously passed around a boolean return flag to
indicate whether it saw something with type _|_ (that is, something
it knows at compile-time will definitely diverge) and also had some
manual checks for the `ty_err` pseudo-type that represents a previous
type error. This was because the typing rules implemented by the
typechecker didn't properly propagate _|_ and ty_err. I fixed it.
This also required changing expected error messages in a few tests,
as now we're printing out fewer derived errors -- in fact, at this
point we should print out no derived errors, so report any that
you see (ones that include "[type error]") as bugs.
A slice now always refers to something that returns an borrowed pointer, views don't exist anymore. If you want to have an explictit copy of a slice, use `to_owned()`

the assert_eq! macro compares its arguments and fails if they're not
equal. It's more informative than fail_unless!, because it explicitly
writes the given and expected arguments on failure.
This would close#2761. I figured that if you're supplying your own custom message, you probably don't mind the stringification of the condition to not be in the message.
