090040bf40 librustc: Remove ~EXPR, ~TYPE, and ~PAT from the language, except
for `~str`/`~[]`.

Note that `~self` still remains, since I forgot to add support for
`Box<self>` before the snapshot.

How to update your code:

* Instead of `~EXPR`, you should write `box EXPR`.

* Instead of `~TYPE`, you should write `Box<Type>`.

* Instead of `~PATTERN`, you should write `box PATTERN`.

fa8e71a825 Allow fail messages to be caught, and introduce the Any trait
Some code cleanup, sorting of import blocks

Removed std::unstable::UnsafeArc's use of Either

Added run-fail tests for the new FailWithCause impls

Changed future_result and try to return Result<(), ~Any>.

- Internally, there is an enum of possible fail messages passend around.
- In case of linked failure or a string message, the ~Any gets
  lazyly allocated in future_results recv method.
- For that, future result now returns a wrapper around a Port.
- Moved and renamed task::TaskResult into rt::task::UnwindResult
  and made it an internal enum.
- Introduced a replacement typedef `type TaskResult = Result<(), ~Any>`.
