impl FromIterator<()> for ()
This just collapses all unit items from an iterator into one. This is
more useful when combined with higher-level abstractions, like
collecting to a `Result<(), E>` where you only care about errors:
```rust
use std::io::*;
data = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
let res: Result<()> = data.iter()
.map(|x| writeln!(stdout(), "{}", x))
.collect();
assert!(res.is_ok());
```
Remove `T: Sized` on pointer `as_ref()` and `as_mut()`
`NonZero::is_zero()` was already casting all pointers to thin `*mut u8` to check for null. The same test on unsized fat pointers can also be used with `as_ref()` and `as_mut()` to get fat references.
(This PR formerly changed `is_null()` too, but checking just the data pointer is not obviously correct for trait objects, especially if `*const self` sorts of methods are ever allowed.)
regenerate libcore/char_private.rs
(filed separately from the work in #45569, because of this matter of the updated Unicode data; see also #45567)
char_private.rs is generated programmatically by char_private.py, using data retrieved from the Unicode Consortium's website.
The motivation here was to make `is_printable` crate-visible (with `pub(crate)`), but it would seem that the Unicode data has changed slightly since char_private.rs was last generated.
Copy all `AsciiExt` methods to the primitive types directly in order to deprecate it later
**EDIT:** [this PR is ready now](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/44042#issuecomment-333883548). I edited this post to reflect the current status of discussion, which is (apart from code review) pretty much settled.
---
This is my current progress in order to prepare stabilization of #39658. As discussed there (and in #39659), the idea is to deprecated `AsciiExt` and copy all methods to the type directly. Apparently there isn't really a reason to have those methods in an extension trait¹.
~~This is **work in progress**: copy&pasting code while slightly modifying the documentation isn't the most exciting thing to do. Therefore I wanted to already open this WIP PR after doing basically 1/4 of the job (copying methods to `&[u8]`, `char` and `&str` is still missing) to get some feedback before I continue. Some questions possibly worth discussing:~~
1. ~~Does everyone agree that deprecating `AsciiExt` is a good idea? Does everyone agree with the goal of this PR?~~ => apparently yes
2. ~~Are my changes OK so far? Did I do something wrong?~~
3. ~~The issue of the unstable-attribute is currently set to 0. I would wait until you say "Ok" to the whole thing, then create a tracking issue and then insert the correct issue id. Is that ok?~~
4. ~~I tweaked `eq_ignore_ascii_case()`: it now takes the argument `other: u8` instead of `other: &u8`. The latter was enforced by the trait. Since we're not bound to a trait anymore, we can drop the reference, ok?~~ => I reverted this, because the interface has to match the `AsciiExt` interface exactly.
¹ ~~Could it be that we can't write `impl [u8] {}`? This might be the reason for `AsciiExt`. If that is the case: is there a good reason we can't write such an impl block? What can we do instead?~~ => we couldn't at the time this PR was opened, but Simon made it possible.

Fix#18604: next_power_of_two should panic on overflow
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/18604
Is it possible to write a test for this? My experiments showed `x.py test` running in release mode, so my attempt at a `#[should_panic]` didn't work.
We don't want to stabilize them now already. The goal of this set of
commits is just to add inherent methods to the four types. Stabilizing
all of those methods can be done later.
Since the methods on u8 directly will shadow the AsciiExt methods,
we cannot change the signature without breaking everything. It
would have been nice to take `u8` as argument instead of `&u8`, but
we cannot break stuff! So this commit reverts it to the original
`&u8` version.
Those methods will shadow the methods of `AsciiExt`, so if we don't
make them insta-stable, everyone will hitting stability errors. It
is fine adding those as stable, because they are just being moved
around [according to sfackler][1].
OPEN QUESTION: this commit also stabilizes the `AsciiExt` methods
that were previously feature gated by the `ascii_ctype` feature.
Maybe we don't want to stablilize those yet.

This is the first step in order to deprecate AsciiExt. Since
this is a WIP commit, there is still some code duplication (notably
the static arrays) that will be removed later.
Bring back slice::ref_slice as slice::from_ref.
These functions were deprecated and removed in 1.5, but such simple
functionality shouldn't require using unsafe code, and it isn't
cluttering libstd too much.
The original removal was quite contentious (see #27774), since then
we've had precedent for including such nuggets of functionality (see rust-lang/rfcs#1789),
and @nikomatsakis has provided a lot of use cases in https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1789#issuecomment-314640034.
Hence this PR.
I'm not too sure what to do with stability, feel free to correct me.
It seems pointless to go through stabilization for these functions though.

Implement TryFrom<&[T]> for &[T; N]
There are many cases where a buffer with a static compile-time size is preferred over a slice with a dynamic size. This allows for performing a checked conversion from `&[T]` to `&[T; N]`. This may also lead to compile-time optimizations involving `[T; N]` such as loop unrolling.
This is my first PR to Rust, so I'm not sure if discussion of this change should happen here or does it need its own RFC? I figured these changes would be a subset of #33417.

Implement Hash for raw pointers to unsized types
This is useful for some niche cases, like a hash table of slices or trait objects where the key is the raw pointer. Example use case: https://docs.rs/by_address
These functions were deprecated and removed in 1.5, but such simple
functionality shouldn't require using unsafe code, and it isn't
cluttering libstd too much.
incr.comp.: Use 128bit SipHash for fingerprinting
This PR switches incr. comp. result fingerprinting from 128 bit BLAKE2 to 128 bit SipHash. When we started using BLAKE2 for fingerprinting, the 128 bit version of SipHash was still experimental. Now that it isn't anymore we should be able to get a nice performance boost without significantly increasing collision probability.
~~I'm going to start a try-build for this, so we can gauge the performance impact before merging (hence the `WIP` in the title).~~
EDIT: Performance improvements look as expected. Tests seem to be passing.
Fixes#41215.

core: derive Clone for result::IntoIter
It appears to be a simple oversight that `result::IntoIter<T>` doesn't
implement `Clone` (where `T: Clone`). We do already have `Clone` for
`result::Iter`, as well as the similar `option::IntoIter` and `Iter`.
