declared with the same name in the same scope.
This breaks several common patterns. First are unused imports:
use foo::bar;
use baz::bar;
Change this code to the following:
use baz::bar;
Second, this patch breaks globs that import names that are shadowed by
subsequent imports. For example:
use foo::*; // including `bar`
use baz::bar;
Change this code to remove the glob:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz::bar;
Or qualify all uses of `bar`:
use foo::{boo, quux};
use baz;
... baz::bar ...
Finally, this patch breaks code that, at top level, explicitly imports
`std` and doesn't disable the prelude.
extern crate std;
Because the prelude imports `std` implicitly, there is no need to
explicitly import it; just remove such directives.
The old behavior can be opted into via the `import_shadowing` feature
gate. Use of this feature gate is discouraged.
This implements RFC #116.
Closes#16464.
[breaking-change]
This fixes#16451.
While moving things around, I also removed a bunch of unnecessary whitespace, however I can put it back in if that's undesired.
Thanks.
* `rust.md`: changes for consistency
* `guide-ffi.md`: wrapped inline code
NOTE: This is a duplicate of #16375. I completely messed up that fork, so I made a new fork.
rust.md: Explicitly point out how special `'static` is.
Drive-by: fix description of `&content` to point out that `&'f type` is (as of today) only for type expressions.
People reading the tutorial may not be familiar with the convention of naming lists, vectors and the like as xs, ys, etc. Without some explanation of the reasoning behind it, it might come off as just throwaway non-descriptive names. Languages like Haskell gets flak from using short, non-descriptive names, while in reality, there are clear conventions and reasons for using certain terse variable names.
This is just a proposed explanation of this convention, as I've interpreted it - I assumed that the convention came from a language like Haskell, so I tailored it according to that. So beware that I might have misjudged how it is used in the Rust language, or at least how it is used in the Rust tutorial.

I _think_ this is the right place to introduce strings. It's a bit hard to talk about without understanding pointers and ownership, but you need to have some idea of what's going on...
I wasn't 100% sure of what level of detail I wanted to go into things here. For example, 1:1 vs M:N tasks seems like a better distinction to leave to the Guide.
