The reasons for doing this are:
* The model on which linked failure is based is inherently complex
* The implementation is also very complex, and there are few remaining who
fully understand the implementation
* There are existing race conditions in the core context switching function of
the scheduler, and possibly others.
* It's unclear whether this model of linked failure maps well to a 1:1 threading
model
Linked failure is often a desired aspect of tasks, but we would like to take a
much more conservative approach in re-implementing linked failure if at all.

I've started working on this issue and pushed a small commit, which adds a range check for integer literals in `middle::const_eval` (no `uint` at the moment)
At the moment, this patch is just a proof of concept, I'm not sure if there is a better function for the checks in `middle::const_eval`. This patch does not check for overflows after constant folding, eg:
let x: i8 = 99 + 99;
It is simply defined as `f64` across every platform right now.
A use case hasn't been presented for a `float` type defined as the
highest precision floating point type implemented in hardware on the
platform. Performance-wise, using the smallest precision correct for the
use case greatly saves on cache space and allows for fitting more
numbers into SSE/AVX registers.
If there was a use case, this could be implemented as simply a type
alias or a struct thanks to `#[cfg(...)]`.
Closes#6592

This module was removed a while ago, but the tasks tutorial wasn't
updated, and the old docs page for pipes was never deleted so the link
confusingly still worked!
This module provided adaptors for the old internal iterator protocol,
but they proved to be quite unreadable and are not generic enough to
handle borrowed pointers well.
Since Rust no longer defines an internal iteration protocol, I don't
think there's going to be any reuse via these adaptors.
Change the former repetition::
for 5.times { }
to::
do 5.times { }
.times() cannot be broken with `break` or `return` anymore; for those
cases, use a numerical range loop instead.
To be more specific:
`UPPERCASETYPE` was changed to `UppercaseType`
`type_new` was changed to `Type::new`
`type_function(value)` was changed to `value.method()`
The removed test for issue #2611 is well covered by the `std::iterator`
module itself.
This adds the `count` method to `IteratorUtil` to replace `EqIter`.
fail!() used to require owned strings but can handle static strings
now. Also, it can pass its arguments to fmt!() on its own, no need for
the caller to call fmt!() itself.
