Someone asked for an example usage of this on IRC, so I tossed together the simplest one. Obviously, this isn't up to snuff, but it's better than nothing.
- `width()` computes the displayed width of a string, ignoring the width of control characters.
- arguably we might do *something* else for control characters, but the question is, what?
- users who want to do something else can iterate over chars()
- `graphemes()` returns a `Graphemes` struct, which implements an iterator over the grapheme clusters of a &str.
- fully compliant with [UAX#29](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Grapheme_Cluster_Boundaries)
- passes all [Unicode-supplied tests](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr41/tr41-15.html#Tests29)
- added code to generate additionial categories in `unicode.py`
- `Cn` aka `Not_Assigned`
- categories necessary for grapheme cluster breaking
- tidied up the exports from libunicode
- all exports are exposed through a module rather than directly at crate root.
- std::prelude imports UnicodeChar and UnicodeStrSlice from std::char and std::str rather than directly from libunicode
closes#7043
- Graphemes and GraphemeIndices structs implement iterators over
grapheme clusters analogous to the Chars and CharOffsets for chars in
a string. Iterator and DoubleEndedIterator are available for both.
- tidied up the exports for libunicode. crate root exports are now moved
into more appropriate module locations:
- UnicodeStrSlice, Words, Graphemes, GraphemeIndices are in str module
- UnicodeChar exported from char instead of crate root
- canonical_combining_class is exported from str rather than crate root
Since libunicode's exports have changed, programs that previously relied
on the old export locations will need to change their `use` statements
to reflect the new ones. See above for more information on where the new
exports live.

This PR is the outcome of the library stabilization meeting for the
`liballoc::owned` and `libcore::cell` modules.
Aside from the stability attributes, there are a few breaking changes:
* The `owned` modules is now named `boxed`, to better represent its
contents. (`box` was unavailable, since it's a keyword.) This will
help avoid the misconception that `Box` plays a special role wrt
ownership.
* The `AnyOwnExt` extension trait is renamed to `BoxAny`, and its `move`
method is renamed to `downcast`, in both cases to improve clarity.
* The recently-added `AnySendOwnExt` extension trait is removed; it was
not being used and is unnecessary.

The types `Bitv` and `BitvSet` are badly out of date. This PR:
- cleans up the code (primarily, simplifies `Bitv` and implements `BitvSet` in terms of `Bitv`)
- implements several new traits for `Bitv`
- adds new functionality to `Bitv` and `BitvSet`
- replaces internal iterators with external ones
- updates documentation
- minor bug fixes
This is a significantly souped-up version of PR #15139 and is the result of the discussion there.
`Bitv::new` has been renamed `Bitv::with_capacity`. The new function
`Bitv::new` now creates a `Bitv` with no elements.
The new function `BitvSet::with_capacity` creates a `BitvSet` with
a specified capacity.
On Bitv:
- Add .push() and .pop() which take and return bool, respectively
- Add .truncate() which truncates a Bitv to a specific length
- Add .grow() which grows a Bitv by a specific length
- Add .reserve() which grows the underlying storage to be able to hold
a specified number of bits without resizing
- Implement FromIterator<Vec<bool>>
- Implement Extendable<bool>
- Implement Collection
- Implement Mutable
- Remove .from_bools() since FromIterator<Vec<bool>> now accomplishes this.
- Remove .assign() since Clone::clone_from() accomplishes this.
On BitvSet:
- Add .reserve() which grows the underlying storage to be able to hold
a specified number of bits without resizing
- Add .get_ref() and .get_mut_ref() to return references to the
underlying Bitv
Add documentation to methods on BitvSet that were missing them. Also
make sure #[inline] is on all methods that are (a) one-liners or (b)
private methods whose only purpose is code deduplication.
Removes the following methods from `Bitv`:
- `to_vec`: translates a `Bitv` into a bulky `Vec<uint>` of 0's and 1's
replace with: `bitv.iter().map(|b| if b {1} else {0}).collect()`
- `to_bools`: translates a `Bitv` into a `Vec<bool>`
replace with: `bitv.iter().collect()`
- `ones`: internal iterator over all 1 bits in a `Bitv`
replace with: `BitvSet::from_bitv(bitv).iter().advance(fn)`
These methods had specific functionality which can be replicated more
generally by the modern iterator system. (Also `to_vec` was not even
unit tested!)
The argument passed to Vec::grow is the number of elements to grow
the vector by, not the target number of elements. The old `Bitv`
code did the wrong thing, allocating more memory than it needed to.
The internal masking behaviour for `Bitv` is now defined as:
- Any entirely words in self.storage must be all zeroes.
- Any partially used words may have anything at all in their
unused bits.
This means:
- When decreasing self.nbits, care must be taken that any
no-longer-used words are zeroed out.
- When increasing self.nbits, care must be taken that any
newly-unmasked bits are set to their correct values.
- When reading words, care should be taken that the values of
unused bits are not used. (Preferably, use `Bitv::mask_words`
which zeroes them out for you.)
The old behaviour was that every unused bit was always set to
zero. The problem with this is that unused bits are almost never
read, so forgetting to do this will result in very subtle and
hard-to-track down bugs. This way the responsibility for masking
falls on the places which might cause unused bits to be read: for
now, this is only `Bitv::mask_words` and `BitvSet::insert`.
The old `Bitv` structure had two variations: one represented by a vector of
uints, and another represented by a single uint for bit vectors containing
fewer than uint::BITS bits.
The purpose of this is to avoid the indirection of using a Vec, but the
speedup is only available to users who
(a) are storing less than uints::BITS bits
(b) know this when they create the vector (since `Bitv`s cannot be resized)
(c) don't know this at compile time (else they could use uint directly)
Giving such specific users a (questionable) speed benefit at the cost of
adding explicit checks to almost every single bit call, frequently writing
the same method twice and making iteration much much more difficult, does
not seem like a worthwhile tradeoff to me.
Also, rustc does not use Bitv anywhere, only through BitvSet, which does
not have this optimization.

This commit uses the same trick as ~/Box to map Gc<T> to @T internally inside

This removes functions such as `Gc::new`, `Gc::borrow`, and `Gc::ptr_eq` in

As with the previous commit with `librand`, this commit shuffles around some
`collections` code. The new state of the world is similar to that of librand:
* The libcollections crate now only depends on libcore and liballoc.
* The standard library has a new module, `std::collections`. All functionality
of libcollections is reexported through this module.
I would like to stress that this change is purely cosmetic. There are very few
alterations to these primitives.
There are a number of notable points about the new organization:
* std::{str, slice, string, vec} all moved to libcollections. There is no reason
that these primitives shouldn't be necessarily usable in a freestanding
context that has allocation. These are all reexported in their usual places in
the standard library.
* The `hashmap`, and transitively the `lru_cache`, modules no longer reside in
`libcollections`, but rather in libstd. The reason for this is because the
`HashMap::new` contructor requires access to the OSRng for initially seeding
the hash map. Beyond this requirement, there is no reason that the hashmap
could not move to libcollections.
I do, however, have a plan to move the hash map to the collections module. The
`HashMap::new` function could be altered to require that the `H` hasher
parameter ascribe to the `Default` trait, allowing the entire `hashmap` module
to live in libcollections. The key idea would be that the default hasher would
be different in libstd. Something along the lines of:

pub type HashMap<K, V, H = RandomizedSipHasher> =
core_collections::HashMap<K, V, H>;
This is not possible today because you cannot invoke static methods through
type aliases. If we modified the compiler, however, to allow invocation of
static methods through type aliases, then this type definition would
essentially be switching the default hasher from `SipHasher` in libcollections
to a libstd-defined `RandomizedSipHasher` type. This type's `Default`
implementation would randomly seed the `SipHasher` instance, and otherwise
perform the same as `SipHasher`.
This future state doesn't seem incredibly far off, but until that time comes,
the hashmap module will live in libstd to not compromise on functionality.
* In preparation for the hashmap moving to libcollections, the `hash` module has
moved from libstd to libcollections. A previously snapshotted commit enables a
distinct `Writer` trait to live in the `hash` module which `Hash`
implementations are now parameterized over.
Due to using a custom trait, the `SipHasher` implementation has lost its
specialized methods for writing integers. These can be re-added
backwards-compatibly in the future via default methods if necessary, but the
FNV hashing should satisfy much of the need for speedier hashing.
A list of breaking changes:
* HashMap::{get, get_mut} no longer fails with the key formatted into the error
message with `{:?}`, instead, a generic message is printed. With backtraces,
it should still be not-too-hard to track down errors.
* The HashMap, HashSet, and LruCache types are now available through
std::collections instead of the collections crate.
* Manual implementations of hash should be parameterized over `hash::Writer`
instead of just `Writer`.

An interface that gives a better control over the load factor and the minimum capacity for HashMap.
The size of `HashMap<K, V>` is now 64 bytes by default on a 64-bit platform (or at least 40 bytes, that is 3 words less, with FNV and without minimum capacity)
Unanswered questions about `ResizePolicy`
* should it control the `INITIAL_CAPACITY`?
* should it fully control the resizing behavior? Even though the capacity always changes by a factor of 2.
* is caching `grow_at` desirable?
special thanks to @eddyb and @pnkfelix
* null and mut_null are unstable. Their names may change if the unsafe
pointer types change.
* copy_memory and copy_overlapping_memory are unstable. We think they
aren't going to change.
* set_memory and zero_memory are experimental. Both the names and
the semantics are under question.
* swap and replace are unstable and probably won't change.
* read is unstable, probably won't change
* read_and_zero is experimental. It's necessity is in doubt.
* mem::overwrite is now called ptr::write to match read and is
unstable. mem::overwrite is now deprecated
* array_each, array_each_with_len, buf_len, and position are
all deprecated because they use old style iteration and their
utility is generally under question.
Refactored the load factor and the minimum capacity out of HashMap.
The size of HashMap<K, V> is now 64 bytes by default on a 64-bit platform
(or 48 bytes, that is 2 words less, with FNV)
Added a documentation in a few places to clarify the behavior.
This completes the last stage of the renaming of the comparison hierarchy of
traits. This change renames TotalEq to Eq and TotalOrd to Ord.
In the future the new Eq/Ord will be filled out with their appropriate methods,
but for now this change is purely a renaming change.
[breaking-change]
This is part of the ongoing renaming of the equality traits. See #12517 for more
details. All code using Eq/Ord will temporarily need to move to Partial{Eq,Ord}
or the Total{Eq,Ord} traits. The Total traits will soon be renamed to {Eq,Ord}.

This enforces `snake_case` for functions and methods only. Might be worth extending it to fields and locals too at some point in the future.
A number of breaking changes each detailed in the attached commits.
A number of functions/methods have been moved or renamed to align
better with rust standard conventions.
std::reflect::MovePtrAdaptor => MovePtrAdaptor::new

This commit shuffles around some of the `rand` code, along with some
reorganization. The new state of the world is as follows:
* The librand crate now only depends on libcore. This interface is experimental.
* The standard library has a new module, `std::rand`. This interface will
eventually become stable.
Unfortunately, this entailed more of a breaking change than just shuffling some
names around. The following breaking changes were made to the rand library:
* Rng::gen_vec() was removed. This has been replaced with Rng::gen_iter() which
will return an infinite stream of random values. Previous behavior can be
regained with `rng.gen_iter().take(n).collect()`
* Rng::gen_ascii_str() was removed. This has been replaced with
Rng::gen_ascii_chars() which will return an infinite stream of random ascii
characters. Similarly to gen_iter(), previous behavior can be emulated with
`rng.gen_ascii_chars().take(n).collect()`
* {IsaacRng, Isaac64Rng, XorShiftRng}::new() have all been removed. These all
relied on being able to use an OSRng for seeding, but this is no longer
available in librand (where these types are defined). To retain the same
functionality, these types now implement the `Rand` trait so they can be
generated with a random seed from another random number generator. This allows
the stdlib to use an OSRng to create seeded instances of these RNGs.
* Rand implementations for `Box<T>` and `@T` were removed. These seemed to be
pretty rare in the codebase, and it allows for librand to not depend on
liballoc. Additionally, other pointer types like Rc<T> and Arc<T> were not
supported. If this is undesirable, librand can depend on liballoc and regain
these implementations.
* The WeightedChoice structure is no longer built with a `Vec<Weighted<T>>`,
but rather a `&mut [Weighted<T>]`. This means that the WeightedChoice
structure now has a lifetime associated with it.
* The `sample` method on `Rng` has been moved to a top-level function in the
`rand` module due to its dependence on `Vec`.

[breaking-change]
This commit moves reflection (as well as the {:?} format modifier) to a new
libdebug crate, all of which is marked experimental.
This is a breaking change because it now requires the debug crate to be
explicitly linked if the :? format qualifier is used. This means that any code
using this feature will have to add `extern crate debug;` to the top of the
crate. Any code relying on reflection will also need to do this.
Closes#12019
[breaking-change]
* All of the *_val functions have gone from #[unstable] to #[stable]
* The overwrite and zeroed functions have gone from #[unstable] to #[stable]
* The uninit function is now deprecated, replaced by its stable counterpart,
uninitialized

The span on a inner doc-comment would point to the next token, e.g. the span for the `a` line points to the `b` line, and the span of `b` points to the `fn`.
```rust
//! a
//! b
fn bar() {}
