My main goals were:
- be clear when we talk about "references" and "pointers"
- remove Managed boxes completely and the concept of GC.

Change `for` desugaring & make refutable pattern errors more precise
This changes for to desugar to the `let`-based pattern match as described in #14390, and adjusts the compiler to use this information for error messages that even mention that it's in a `for` loop.
Also, it makes the compiler record the exact positions of refutable parts of a pattern, to point to exactly them in error messages.
This ensures that a public typedef to a private item is ensured to be public in
terms of linkage. This affects both the visibility of the library's symbols as
well as other lints based on privacy (dead_code for example).
Closes#14421Closes#14422

messages when the pattern is refutable.
This means the compiler points directly to the pattern and said that the
problem is the pattern being refutable (rather than just saying that
some value isn't covered in the `match` as it did previously).
Fixes#14390.
The current tutorial says that the only way to get master is to build from source, which isn't true anymore - nightly binaries and an installer for Mac OS X are now available at the install page: http://www.rust-lang.org/install.html . Feedback very much welcome! Addresses issue #13578.
This patch changes the internals of `Regex` and `regex!()` such that
```rust
static RE: Regex = regex!(...);
```
is valid. It doesn't change anything about the actual regex implementation, it just changes the type to something that can be constructed as a const expression.
With the test runner using ::std::os::args(), and std::std::os now being
a re-export of realstd::os, there's no more need for realstd stuff
mucking up rt::args.
Remove the one test of os::args(), as it's not very useful and it won't
work anymore now that rt::args doesn't use realstd.
As part of the libstd facade (cc #13851), rustdoc is taught to inline documentation across crate boundaries through the usage of a `pub use` statement. This is done to allow libstd to maintain the facade that it is a standalone library with a defined public interface (allowing us to shuffle around what's underneath it).
A preview is available at http://people.mozilla.org/~acrichton/doc/std/index.html
These links work by hyperlinking back to the actual documentation page with a
query parameter which will be recognized and then auto-click the appropriate
[src] link.
Within the documentation for a crate, all hyperlinks to reexported items don't
go across crates, but rather to the items in the crate itself. This will allow
references to Option in the standard library to link to the standard library's
Option, instead of libcore's.
This does mean that other crate's links for Option will still link to libcore's
Option.
