The Rust Programming Language book has no explanation of what `i32` actually means. I have added an explanation for the first time the reader encounters this type.
@steveklabnik Trying out the Glossary idea.
Added the paragraph about 'complicated words' because I think it would be useful to those contributing to the book. Maybe this should not be here
The book in "hello-world" tells that there are configs for some programs and gives a link to main repo's src/etc. Actually, these configs moved to separate repos some days ago. This PR adds a markdown file with links and moves "hello-world" link about editors to point directly to this new file.
Highlights:
* Adds an 'uninstall.sh' script to `/usr/local/lib/rustlib/uninstall.sh`, the path to which is printed during installation.
* Components can be deselected during install, like `install.sh --without=rust-docs`.
* Components can be listed with `install.sh --list-components`.
* Vastly reduces spew during install (but supporting a `--verbose` option).
Typicall install run looks like:
```
brian@brianX1:~/dev/multirust⟫ sudo ./install.sh
[sudo] password for brian:
install: creating uninstall script at /usr/local/lib/rustlib/uninstall.sh
install: installing component 'rustc'
install: installing component 'cargo'
install: installing component 'rust-docs'
Rust is ready to roll.
```
Needs to be merged right before corresponding PRs to cargo and rust-packaging.

While having a look at the Rust book I found this tiny error. In my opinion this if should be all lowercase, because it follows a colon, but I am no native speaker, so I am probably wrong. Also it is a very tiny change, so feel free to include it in any bigger documentation patch.
Replaced outdated use of the `range(start, end)` function where
approriate with `start..end`, and tweaked the examples to compile and run with the latest rust. I also fixed two periphery compile issues in reference.md which were occluding whether there were any new errors created by these changes, so I fixed them.
I started to write up some docs on this, and then realized I was just repeating http://huonw.github.io/blog/2015/01/peeking-inside-trait-objects/ but worse. @huonw previously said that we can use this content if we wanted, so I made some tweaks and integrated it into the book.
Fixes#21707
#[plugin] #[no_link] extern crate bleh;
becomes a crate attribute
#![plugin(bleh)]
The feature gate is still required.
It's almost never correct to link a plugin into the resulting library /
executable, because it will bring all of libsyntax and librustc with it.
However if you really want this behavior, you can get it with a separate
`extern crate` item in addition to the `plugin` attribute.
Fixes#21043.
Fixes#20769.
