This commit revisits the `cast` module in libcore and libstd, and scrutinizes
all functions inside of it. The result was to remove the `cast` module entirely,
folding all functionality into the `mem` module. Specifically, this is the fate
of each function in the `cast` module.
* transmute - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is now marked as
#[unstable]. This is due to planned changes to the `transmute`
function and how it can be invoked (see the #[unstable] comment).
For more information, see RFC 5 and #12898
* transmute_copy - This function was moved to `mem`, with clarification that is
is not an error to invoke it with T/U that are different
sizes, but rather that it is strongly discouraged. This
function is now #[stable]
* forget - This function was moved to `mem` and marked #[stable]
* bump_box_refcount - This function was removed due to the deprecation of
managed boxes as well as its questionable utility.
* transmute_mut - This function was previously deprecated, and removed as part
of this commit.
* transmute_mut_unsafe - This function doesn't serve much of a purpose when it
can be achieved with an `as` in safe code, so it was
removed.
* transmute_lifetime - This function was removed because it is likely a strong
indication that code is incorrect in the first place.
* transmute_mut_lifetime - This function was removed for the same reasons as
`transmute_lifetime`
* copy_lifetime - This function was moved to `mem`, but it is marked
`#[unstable]` now due to the likelihood of being removed in
the future if it is found to not be very useful.
* copy_mut_lifetime - This function was also moved to `mem`, but had the same
treatment as `copy_lifetime`.
* copy_lifetime_vec - This function was removed because it is not used today,
and its existence is not necessary with DST
(copy_lifetime will suffice).
In summary, the cast module was stripped down to these functions, and then the
functions were moved to the `mem` module.

This code does not belong in libstd, and rather belongs in a dedicated crate. In
the future, the syntax::ext::format module should move to the fmt_macros crate
(hence the name of the crate), but for now the fmt_macros crate will only
contain the format string parser.
The entire fmt_macros crate is marked #[experimental] because it is not meant
for general consumption, only the format!() interface is officially supported,
not the internals.
This is a breaking change for anyone using the internals of std::fmt::parse.
Some of the flags have moved to std::fmt::rt, while the actual parsing support
has all moved to the fmt_macros library.

These implementations must live in libstd right now because the fmt module has
not been migrated yet. This will occur in a later PR.
Just to be clear, there are new extension traits, but they are not necessary
once the std::fmt module has migrated to libcore, which is a planned migration
in the future.
This moves as much allocation as possible from teh std::str module into
core::str. This includes essentially all non-allocating functionality, mostly
iterators and slicing and such.
This primarily splits the Str trait into only having the as_slice() method,
adding a new StrAllocating trait to std::str which contains the relevant new
allocation methods. This is a breaking change if any of the methods of "trait
Str" were overriden. The old functionality can be restored by implementing both
the Str and StrAllocating traits.

This commit adds a new trait, MutableVectorAllocating, which represents
functions on vectors which can allocate.
This is another extension trait to slices which should be removed once a lang
item exists for the ~ allocation.
This removes the TotalOrd and TotalEq implementation macros, they will be added
later to the numeric modules (where the other comparison implementations live).
for `~str`/`~[]`.
Note that `~self` still remains, since I forgot to add support for
`Box<self>` before the snapshot.
How to update your code:
* Instead of `~EXPR`, you should write `box EXPR`.
* Instead of `~TYPE`, you should write `Box<Type>`.
* Instead of `~PATTERN`, you should write `box PATTERN`.

The logging macros now create a LogRecord, and pass that to the Logger. This will allow custom loggers to change the formatting, and possible filter on more properties of the log record.
DefaultLogger's formatting was taken from Python's default formatting:
`LEVEL:from: message`
Also included: fmt::Arguments now implement Show, so they can be used to
extend format strings.

The logging macros now create a LogRecord, and pass that to the
Logger, instead of passing a `level` and `args`. The new signature is:
trait Logger {
fn log(&mut self, record: &LogRecord);
}
The LogRecord includes additional values that may be useful to custom
loggers, and also allows for further expansion if not values are found
useful.

Add more type signatures to the docs; tweak a few of them.
Someone reading the docs won't know what the types of various things
are, so this adds them in a few meaningful places to help with
comprehension.

move errno -> IoError converter into std, bubble up OSRng errors
Also adds a general errno -> `~str` converter to `std::os`, and makes the failure messages for the things using `OSRng` (e.g. (transitively) the task-local RNG, meaning hashmap initialisation failures aren't such a black box).
The various ...Rng::new() methods can hit IO errors from the OSRng they use,
and it seems sensible to expose them at a higher level. Unfortunately, writing
e.g. `StdRng::new().unwrap()` gives a much poorer error message than if it
failed internally, but this is a problem with all `IoResult`s.
Similarly to #12422 which made stdin buffered by default, this commit makes the
output streams also buffered by default. Now that buffered writers will flush
their contents when they are dropped, I don't believe that there's no reason why
the output shouldn't be buffered by default, which is what you want in 90% of
cases.
As with stdin, there are new stdout_raw() and stderr_raw() functions to get
unbuffered streams to stdout/stderr.
Formatting via reflection has been a little questionable for some time now, and
it's a little unfortunate that one of the standard macros will silently use
reflection when you weren't expecting it. This adds small bits of code bloat to
libraries, as well as not always being necessary. In light of this information,
this commit switches assert_eq!() to using {} in the error message instead of
{:?}.
In updating existing code, there were a few error cases that I encountered:
* It's impossible to define Show for [T, ..N]. I think DST will alleviate this
because we can define Show for [T].
* A few types here and there just needed a #[deriving(Show)]
* Type parameters needed a Show bound, I often moved this to `assert!(a == b)`
* `Path` doesn't implement `Show`, so assert_eq!() cannot be used on two paths.
I don't think this is much of a regression though because {:?} on paths looks
awful (it's a byte array).
Concretely speaking, this shaved 10K off a 656K binary. Not a lot, but sometime
significant for smaller binaries.
This commit changes the ToStr trait to:
impl<T: fmt::Show> ToStr for T {
fn to_str(&self) -> ~str { format!("{}", *self) }
}
The ToStr trait has been on the chopping block for quite awhile now, and this is
the final nail in its coffin. The trait and the corresponding method are not
being removed as part of this commit, but rather any implementations of the
`ToStr` trait are being forbidden because of the generic impl. The new way to
get the `to_str()` method to work is to implement `fmt::Show`.
Formatting into a `&mut Writer` (as `format!` does) is much more efficient than
`ToStr` when building up large strings. The `ToStr` trait forces many
intermediate allocations to be made while the `fmt::Show` trait allows
incremental buildup in the same heap allocated buffer. Additionally, the
`fmt::Show` trait is much more extensible in terms of interoperation with other
`Writer` instances and in more situations. By design the `ToStr` trait requires
at least one allocation whereas the `fmt::Show` trait does not require any
allocations.

This adds simple syntax highlighting based off libsyntax's lexer to be sure to
stay up to date with rust's grammar. Some of the highlighting is a bit ad-hoc,
but it definitely seems to get the job done!
This currently doesn't highlight rustdoc-rendered function signatures and
structs that are emitted to each page because the colors already signify what's
clickable and I think we'd have to figure out a different scheme before
colorizing them. This does, however, colorize all code examples and source code.
Closes#11393
This works towards a complete rewrite and ultimate removal of the `std::num::strconv` module (see #6220), and the removal of the `ToStrRadix` trait in favour of using the `std::fmt` functionality directly. This should make for a cleaner API, encourage less allocation, and make the implementation far more comprehensible.
The `Formatter::pad_integral` method has also been refactored make it easier to understand.
The formatting tests for integers have been moved out of `run-pass/ifmt.rs` in order to provide more immediate feedback when building using `make check-stage2-std NO_REBUILD=1`.
The benchmarks have been standardised between std::num::strconv and std::num::fmt to make it easier to compare the performance of the different implementations.
Arbitrary radixes are now easier to use in format strings. For example:
~~~
assert_eq!(format!("{:04}", radix(3, 2)), ~"0011");
~~~
This "bubble up an error" macro was originally named if_ok! in order to get it
landed, but after the fact it was discovered that this name is not exactly
desirable.
The name `if_ok!` isn't immediately clear that is has much to do with error
handling, and it doesn't look fantastic in all contexts (if if_ok!(...) {}). In
general, the agreed opinion about `if_ok!` is that is came in as subpar.
The name `try!` is more invocative of error handling, it's shorter by 2 letters,
and it looks fitting in almost all circumstances. One concern about the word
`try!` is that it's too invocative of exceptions, but the belief is that this
will be overcome with documentation and examples.
