And some other outdated language. @echochamber came asking about these docs
on IRC today, and they're a bit weird. I've updated them to be less ambiguous
and use contemporary terminology.
... matching the existing Index impls.
There is no reason not to if String implement DerefMut.
The code removed in `src/librustc/middle/effect.rs` was added in #9750
to prevent things like `s[0] = 0x80` where `s: String`,
but I belive became unnecessary when the Index(Mut) traits were introduced.
This resolves#26845.
I'm not entirely satisfied with the placement of the rounding discussion in the docs for the `Div` and `Rem` traits, but I couldn't come up with anywhere better to put it. Suggestions are welcome.
I didn't add any discussion of rounding to the `checked_div` (or rem) or `wrapping_div` documentation because those seem to make it pretty clear that they do the same thing as `Div`.
I noticed in docs, specifically http://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.u8.html#method.is_power_of_two, that it was like this, and it was apparently in multiple places too.
Didn't change any occurrences through the cross-depo things. There's a lot in /src/llvm/ for instance, but I'm not confident on how to go about sending fixes for those, so this is just what's in the base rust depo.

Exploiting the fact that getting the length of the slices is known, we
can use a counted loop instead of iterators, which means that we only
need a single counter, instead of having to increment and check one
pointer for each iterator.

Each formatting trait now has an example of implementation, as well as a
fuller description of what it's supposed to output.
It also contains a link to the module-level documentation which
Fixes#25765
Fixes#24249
I've tagged all items that were missing docs to allow them to compile for now, the ones in core/num should probably be documented at least.
This is also a breaking change for any crates using `#[deny(missing_docs)]` that have undocumented constants, not sure there is any way to avoid this without making it a separate lint?
