Now that we have an overloaded comparison (`==`) operator, and that `Vec`/`String` deref to `[T]`/`str` on method calls, many `as_slice()`/`as_mut_slice()`/`to_string()` calls have become redundant. This patch removes them. These were the most common patterns:
- `assert_eq(test_output.as_slice(), "ground truth")` -> `assert_eq(test_output, "ground truth")`
- `assert_eq(test_output, "ground truth".to_string())` -> `assert_eq(test_output, "ground truth")`
- `vec.as_mut_slice().sort()` -> `vec.sort()`
- `vec.as_slice().slice(from, to)` -> `vec.slice(from_to)`
---
Note that e.g. `a_string.push_str(b_string.as_slice())` has been left untouched in this PR, since we first need to settle down whether we want to favor the `&*b_string` or the `b_string[]` notation.
This is rebased on top of #19167

As an example of what this changes, the following code:
```rust
let x: [int ..4];
```
Currently spits out ‘expected `]`, found `..`’. However, a comma would also be valid there, as would a number of other tokens. This change adjusts the parser to produce more accurate errors, so that that example now produces ‘expected one of `(`, `+`, `,`, `::`, or `]`, found `..`’.
(Thanks to cramer on IRC for pointing out this problem with diagnostics.)
The only other place I know of that doesn’t allow trailing commas is closure types (#19414), and those are a bit tricky to fix (I suspect it might be impossible without infinite lookahead) so I didn’t implement that in this patch. There are other issues surrounding closure type parsing anyway, in particular #19410.

Implements RFC 438.
Fixes#19092.
This is a [breaking-change]: change types like `&Foo+Send` or `&'a mut Foo+'a` to `&(Foo+Send)` and `&'a mut (Foo+'a)`, respectively.

This commit removes the `std::local_data` module in favor of a new
`std::thread_local` module providing thread local storage. The module provides
two variants of TLS: one which owns its contents and one which is based on
scoped references. Each implementation has pros and cons listed in the
documentation.
Both flavors have accessors through a function called `with` which yield a
reference to a closure provided. Both flavors also panic if a reference cannot
be yielded and provide a function to test whether an access would panic or not.
This is an implementation of [RFC 461][rfc] and full details can be found in
that RFC.
This is a breaking change due to the removal of the `std::local_data` module.
All users can migrate to the new thread local system like so:
thread_local!(static FOO: Rc<RefCell<Option<T>>> = Rc::new(RefCell::new(None)))
The old `local_data` module inherently contained the `Rc<RefCell<Option<T>>>` as
an implementation detail which must now be explicitly stated by users.

[breaking-change]
This breaks code like
```
let t = (42i, 42i);
... t.0::<int> ...;
```
Change this code to not contain an unused type parameter. For example:
```
let t = (42i, 42i);
... t.0 ...;
```

[breaking-change]
Use the expected type to infer the argument/return types of unboxed closures. Also, in `||` expressions, use the expected type to decide if the result should be a boxed or unboxed closure (and if an unboxed closure, what kind).
This supercedes PR #19089, which was already reviewed by @pcwalton.
Futureproof Rust for fancier suffixed literals. The Rust compiler tokenises a literal followed immediately (no whitespace) by an identifier as a single token: (for example) the text sequences `"foo"bar`, `1baz` and `1u1024` are now a single token rather than the pairs `"foo"` `bar`, `1` `baz` and `1u` `1024` respectively.
The compiler rejects all such suffixes in the parser, except for the 12 numeric suffixes we have now.
I'm fairly sure this will affect very few programs, since it's not currently legal to have `<literal><identifier>` in a Rust program, except in a macro invocation. Any macro invocation relying on this behaviour can simply separate the two tokens with whitespace: `foo!("bar"baz)` becomes `foo!("bar" baz)`.
This implements [RFC 463](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0463-future-proof-literal-suffixes.md), and so closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/19088.
This adds an optional suffix at the end of a literal token:
`"foo"bar`. An actual use of a suffix in a expression (or other literal
that the compiler reads) is rejected in the parser.
This doesn't switch the handling of numbers to this system, and doesn't
outlaw illegal suffixes for them yet.
Came up on IRC that this was a bit unhelpful as to what should actually be *done*. I am new to changing compiler messages, please let me know if there's anything else that needs to be done to accomadate this change.
(My build system is still constantly crashing [Is bors contagious?], so this hasn't been formally `check`ed. I figure it's a simple enough change that any consequences [like compile-fail expected messages?] can be eyeballed by someone more experienced.)
