This adds both `static mut` items and `static mut` foreign items. This involved changing far less code than I thought it was going to, but the tests seem to pass and the variables seem functional.
I'm more than willing to write more tests, so suggestions are welcome!
Closes#553
the `test/run-pass/class-trait-bounded-param.rs` test was xfailed and
written in an ancient dialect of Rust so I've just removed it
this also removes `to_vec` from DList because it's provided by
`std::iter::to_vec`
an Iterator implementation is added for OptVec but some transitional
internal iterator methods are still left
I removed the `static-method-test.rs` test because it was heavily based
on `BaseIter` and there are plenty of other more complex uses of static
methods anyway.
The removed test for issue #2611 is well covered by the `std::iterator`
module itself.
This adds the `count` method to `IteratorUtil` to replace `EqIter`.
Remove all the explicit @mut-fields from CrateContext, though many
fields are still @-ptrs.
This required changing every single function call that explicitly
took a @CrateContext, so I took advantage and changed as many as I
could get away with to &-ptrs or &mut ptrs.
This fixes the strange random crashes in compile-fail tests.
This reverts commit 96cd61ad034cc9e88ab6a7845c3480dbc1ea62f3.

This almost removes the StringRef wrapper, since all strings are
Equiv-alent now. Removes a lot of `/* bad */ copy *`'s, and converts
several things to be &'static str (the lint table and the intrinsics
table).
There are many instances of .to_managed(), unfortunately.
fail!() used to require owned strings but can handle static strings
now. Also, it can pass its arguments to fmt!() on its own, no need for
the caller to call fmt!() itself.
This fixes the issue described in #4202.
From what I understood of the code, when we reexport a trait in a submodule using e.g. "pub use foo::SomeTrait", we were not previously making an effort to reexport the static methods on that trait.
I'm new to the Rust code base (and the Rust language itself) so my approach may not be kosher, but this patch works by changing the encoder to include the static methods associated with traits.
I couldn't see any tests for this area of the code, so I didn't really have any examples to go by. If tests are needed, I'm happy to work through that if I can get some assistance to do so.
