* Stop using hardcoded numbers that have to all get updated when something changes (inevitable errors and rebase conflicts) as well as removes some unneeded -Z options (obsoleted over time).
* Remove `std::rt::borrowck`
The included test case would essentially never finish compiling without this
patch. It recursies twice at every ExprParen meaning that the branching factor
is 2^n
The included test case will take so long to parse on the old compiler that it'll
surely never let this crop up again.
I wrote a chapter for the FFI tutorial that describes how to perform callbacks from C code to Rust and gives some hints about what to consider and synchronization.
I just needed that for my own wrapper and thought it would be helpful for others.

`Zero` and `One` have precise definitions in mathematics as the identities of the `Add` and `Mul` operations respectively. As such, types that implement these identities are now also required to implement their respective operator traits. This should reduce their misuse whilst still enabling them to be used in generalized algebraic structures (not just numbers). Existing usages of `#[deriving(Zero)]` in client code could break under these new rules, but this is probably a sign that they should have been using something like `#[deriving(Default)]` in the first place.
For more information regarding the mathematical definitions of the additive and multiplicative identities, see the following Wikipedia articles:
- http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_identity
- http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_identity
Note that for floating point numbers the laws specified in the doc comments of `Zero::zero` and `One::one` may not always hold. This is true however for many other traits currently implemented by floating point numbers. What traits floating point numbers should and should not implement is an open question that is beyond the scope of this pull request.
The implementation of `std::num::pow` has been made more succinct and no longer requires `Clone`. The coverage of the associated unit test has also been increased to test for more combinations of bases, exponents, and expected results.
Previously, they were treated like ~[] and &[] (which can have length
0), but fixed length vectors are fixed length, i.e. we know at compile
time if it's possible to have length zero (which is only for [T, .. 0]).
Fixes#11659.

Ignore all newline characters in Base64 decoder to make it compatible with other Base64 decoders.
Most of the Base64 decoder implementations ignore all newline characters in the input string. There are some examples:
Python:
```python
>>> "
A
Q
=
=
".decode("base64")
'\x01'
```
Ruby:
```ruby
irb(main):001:0> "
A
Q
=
=
".unpack("m")
=> [""]
```
Erlang:
```erlang
1> base64:decode("
A
Q
=
=
").
<<1>>
```
Moreover some Base64 encoders append newline character at the end of the output string by default:
Python:
```python
>>> "".encode("base64")
'AQ==
'
```
Ruby:
```ruby
irb(main):001:0> [""].pack("m")
=> "AQ==
"
```
So I think it's fairly important for Rust Base64 decoder to accept Base64 inputs even with newline characters in the padding.
There was an old and barely used implementation of pow, which expected
both parameters to be uint and required more traits to be implemented.
Since a new implementation for `pow` landed, I'm proposing to remove
this old impl in favor of the new one.
The benchmark shows that the new implementation is faster than the one being removed:
```
test num::bench::bench_pow_function ..bench: 9429 ns/iter (+/- 2055)
test num::bench::bench_pow_with_uint_function ...bench: 28476 ns/iter (+/- 2202)
```
I update the example of json use to the last update of the json.rs code. I delete the old branch.
From my last request, I remove the example3 because it doesn't compile. I don't understand why and I don't have the time now to investigate.
This means that compilation continues for longer, and so we can see more
errors per compile. This is mildly more user-friendly because it stops
users having to run rustc n times to see n macro errors: just run it
once to see all of them.
