This PR introduces a `Reflect` marker trait which is a supertrait of `Any`. The idea is that `Reflect` is defined for all concrete types, but is not defined for type parameters unless there is a `T:Reflect` bound. This is intended to preserve the parametricity property. This allows the `Any` interface to be stabilized without committing us to unbounded reflection that is not easily detectable by the caller.
The implementation of `Reflect` relies on an experimental variant of OIBIT. This variant behaves differently for objects, since it requires that all types exposed as part of the object's *interface* are `Reflect`, but isn't concerned about other types that may be closed over. In other words, you don't have to write `Foo+Reflect` in order for `Foo: Reflect` to hold (where `Foo` is a trait).
Given that `Any` is slated to stabilization and hence that we are committed to some form of reflection, the goal of this PR is to leave our options open with respect to parametricity. I see the options for full stabilization as follows (I think an RFC would be an appropriate way to confirm whichever of these three routes we take):
1. We make `Reflect` a lang-item.
2. We stabilize some version of the OIBIT variation I implemented as a general mechanism that may be appropriate for other use cases.
3. We give up on preserving parametricity here and just have `impl<T> Reflect for T` instead. In that case, `Reflect` is a harmless but not especially useful trait going forward.

This PR adds support for associated types to the `#[derive(...)]` syntax extension. In order to do this, it switches over to using where predicates to apply the type constraints. So now this:
```rust
type Trait {
type Type;
}
#[derive(Clone)]
struct Foo<A> where A: Trait {
a: A,
b: <A as Trait>::Type,
}
```
Gets expended into this impl:
```rust
impl<A: Clone> Clone for Foo<A> where
A: Trait,
<A as Trait>::Type: Clone,
{
fn clone(&self) -> Foo<T> {
Foo {
a: self.a.clone(),
b: self.b.clone(),
}
}
}
```
Reject specialized Drop impls.
See Issue #8142 for discussion.
This makes it illegal for a Drop impl to be more specialized than the original item.
So for example, all of the following are now rejected (when they would have been blindly accepted before):
```rust
struct S<A> { ... };
impl Drop for S<i8> { ... } // error: specialized to concrete type
struct T<'a> { ... };
impl Drop for T<'static> { ... } // error: specialized to concrete region
struct U<A> { ... };
impl<A:Clone> Drop for U<A> { ... } // error: added extra type requirement
struct V<'a,'b>;
impl<'a,'b:a> Drop for V<'a,'b> { ... } // error: added extra region requirement
```
Due to examples like the above, this is a [breaking-change].
(The fix is to either remove the specialization from the `Drop` impl, or to transcribe the requirements into the struct/enum definition; examples of both are shown in the PR's fixed to `libstd`.)

This is likely to be the last thing blocking the removal of the `#[unsafe_destructor]` attribute.
Fix#8142Fix#23584
The compiler will now issue a warning for crates that have syntax of the form
`extern crate "foo" as bar`, but it will still continue to accept this syntax.
Additionally, the string `foo-bar` will match the crate name `foo_bar` to assist
in the transition period as well.
This patch will land hopefully in tandem with a Cargo patch that will start
translating all crate names to have underscores instead of hyphens.

The primary motivation here is to sidestep #19032 -- for a time, I thought that we should improve coherence or otherwise extend the language, but I now think that any such changes will require more time to bake. In the meantime, inheritance amongst the fn traits is both logically correct *and* a simple solution to that obstacle. This change introduces inheritance and modifies the compiler so that it can properly generate impls for closures and fns.
Things enabled by this PR (but not included in this PR):
1. An impl of `FnMut` for `&mut F` where `F : FnMut` (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/23015).
2. A better version of `Thunk` I've been calling `FnBox`.
I did not include either of these in the PR because:
1. Adding the impls in 1 currently induces a coherence conflict with the pattern trait. This is interesting and merits some discussion.
2. `FnBox` deserves to be a PR of its own.
The main downside to this design is (a) the need to write impls by hand; (b) the possibility of implementing `FnMut` with different semantics from `Fn`, etc. Point (a) is minor -- in particular, it does not affect normal closure usage -- and could be addressed in the future in many ways (better defaults; convenient macros; specialization; etc). Point (b) is unfortunate but "just a bug" from my POV, and certainly not unique to these traits (c.f. Copy/Clone, PartialEq/Eq, etc). (Until we lift the feature-gate on implementing the Fn traits, in any case, there is room to correct both of these if we find a nice way.)
Note that I believe this change is reversible in the future if we decide on another course of action, due to the feature gate on implementing the `Fn` traits, though I do not (currently) think we should reverse it.
Fixes#18835.

This permits all coercions to be performed in casts, but adds lints to warn in those cases.
Part of this patch moves cast checking to a later stage of type checking. We acquire obligations to check casts as part of type checking where we previously checked them. Once we have type checked a function or module, then we check any cast obligations which have been acquired. That means we have more type information available to check casts (this was crucial to making coercions work properly in place of some casts), but it means that casts cannot feed input into type inference.
[breaking change]
* Adds two new lints for trivial casts and trivial numeric casts, these are warn by default, but can cause errors if you build with warnings as errors. Previously, trivial numeric casts and casts to trait objects were allowed.
* The unused casts lint has gone.
* Interactions between casting and type inference have changed in subtle ways. Two ways this might manifest are:
- You may need to 'direct' casts more with extra type information, for example, in some cases where `foo as _ as T` succeeded, you may now need to specify the type for `_`
- Casts do not influence inference of integer types. E.g., the following used to type check:
```
let x = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
Because the cast would inform inference that `x` must have type `u32`. This no longer applies and the compiler will fallback to `i32` for `x` and thus there will be a type error in the cast. The solution is to add more type information:
```
let x: u32 = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
impls. This is a [breaking-change] (for gated code) in that when you
implement `Fn` (`FnMut`) you must also implement `FnOnce`. This commit
demonstrates how to fix it.
This is a [breaking-change]. When indexing a generic map (hashmap, etc) using the `[]` operator, it is now necessary to borrow explicitly, so change `map[key]` to `map[&key]` (consistent with the `get` routine). However, indexing of string-valued maps with constant strings can now be written `map["abc"]`.

Don't allow upcasting to a supertype in the type of the match discriminant. Fixes#23116.
This is a [breaking-change] in that it closes a type hole that previously existed.

contains ref-bindings, do not permit any upcasting from the type of
the value being matched. Similarly, do not permit coercion in a `let`.
This is a [breaking-change] in that it closes a type hole that
previously existed, and in that coercion is not performed. You should
be able to work around the latter by converting:
```rust
let ref mut x: T = expr;
```
into
```rust
let x: T = expr;
let ref mut x = x;
```
Restricting coercion not to apply in the case of `let ref` or `let ref mut` is sort
of unexciting to me, but seems the best solution:
1. Mixing coercion and `let ref` or `let ref mut` is a bit odd, because you are taking
the address of a (coerced) temporary, but only sometimes. It's not syntactically evident,
in other words, what's going on. When you're doing a coercion, you're kind of
2. Put another way, I would like to preserve the relationship that
`equality <= subtyping <= coercion <= as-coercion`, where this is
an indication of the number of `(T1,T2)` pairs that are accepted by
the various relations. Trying to mix `let ref mut` and coercion
would create another kind of relation that is like coercion, but
acts differently in the case where a precise match is needed.
3. In any case, this is strictly more conservative than what we had
before and we can undo it in the future if we find a way to make
coercion mix with type equality.
The change to match I feel ok about but similarly unthrilled. There is
some subtle text already concerning whether to use eqtype or subtype
for identifier bindings. The best fix I think would be to always have
match use strict equality but use subtyping on identifier bindings,
but the comment `(*)` explains why that's not working at the moment.
As above, I think we can change this as we clean up the code there.
This commit removes the reexports of `old_io` traits as well as `old_path` types
and traits from the prelude. This functionality is now all deprecated and needs
to be removed to make way for other functionality like `Seek` in the `std::io`
module (currently reexported as `NewSeek` in the io prelude).

Require braces when a closure has an explicit return type. This is a [breaking-change]: instead of a closure like `|| -> i32 22`, prefer `|| -> i32 { 22 }`.
