Two changes:
1. Make type parameters move by default, even if they have a Copy bound. After all, they could be bound to `~T` or `~[]`. Also, this is a necessary step towards removing `copy` keyword and replacing with clone.
2. Make it illegal to move from `*T`. This is dangerous in a "moves-by-default" scenario, because it's very easy to move when working with a `*T` pointer. Also, it requires zeroing memory, which we hope to do away with someday.
This allows mass-initialization of large structs without having to specify all the fields.
I'm a bit hesitant, but I wanted to get this out there. I don't really like using the `Zero` trait, because it doesn't really make sense for a type like `HashMap` to use `Zero` as the 'blank allocation' trait. In theory there'd be a new trait, but then that's adding cruft to the language which may not necessarily need to be there.
I do think that this can be useful, but I only implemented `Zero` on the basic types where I thought it made sense, so it may not be all that usable yet. (opinions?)
r? (yes, the review request is back, now that I got it building against incom... I mean master!)
(Attempting to port from orphaned pull-request #6764 )
Fix for #3961. Also includes a test case to illustrate the issues. (All of the entries that say "should align" should align with each other, and the four lines near the end that say "compare _" for _ in {A,B,C,D} should line up with each other.)
Before applying this change set:
-- the "(should align)"'s are all over the place, and the form/line feeding spaces are not cut out as one might or might not expect.
-- compare B and D do not match A and C.
(To be honest, its hard to really say what the right behavior is here, and people who are expecting a particular behavior out of a pretty printer in these cases may well get burned.)
This fixes the strange random crashes in compile-fail tests.
This reverts commit 96cd61ad03.

Previously, this was not a global call, and so when `#[deriving(Rand)]`
was in any module other than the top-level one, it failed (unless there
was a `use std;` in scope).
Also, fix a minor inconsistency between uints and u32s for this piece
of code.
The confusing mixture of byte index and character count meant that every
use of .substr was incorrect; replaced by slice_chars which only uses
character indices. The old behaviour of `.substr(start, n)` can be emulated
via `.slice_from(start).slice_chars(0, n)`.
