This seems to be causing some confusion among users. Rust's char are
not 8bit characters, but 32bit UCS-4 codepoint without surrogates
(Unicode Scalar Values as per Unicode glossary).
Make the doc more explicit about it.

This commit changes the ToStr trait to:
impl<T: fmt::Show> ToStr for T {
fn to_str(&self) -> ~str { format!("{}", *self) }
}
The ToStr trait has been on the chopping block for quite awhile now, and this is
the final nail in its coffin. The trait and the corresponding method are not
being removed as part of this commit, but rather any implementations of the
`ToStr` trait are being forbidden because of the generic impl. The new way to
get the `to_str()` method to work is to implement `fmt::Show`.
Formatting into a `&mut Writer` (as `format!` does) is much more efficient than
`ToStr` when building up large strings. The `ToStr` trait forces many
intermediate allocations to be made while the `fmt::Show` trait allows
incremental buildup in the same heap allocated buffer. Additionally, the
`fmt::Show` trait is much more extensible in terms of interoperation with other
`Writer` instances and in more situations. By design the `ToStr` trait requires
at least one allocation whereas the `fmt::Show` trait does not require any
allocations.

This commit uniforms the short title of modules provided by libstd,
in order to make their roles more explicit when glancing at the index.

Basically, generic containers should not use the default methods since a
type of elements may not guarantees total order. str could use them
since u8's Ord guarantees total order. Floating point numbers are also
broken with the default methods because of NaN. Thanks for @thestinger.
Timespec also guarantees total order AIUI. I'm unsure whether
extra::semver::Identifier does so I left it alone. Proof needed.

Since ' ' is by far one of the most common characters, it is worthwhile
to put it first, and short-circuit the rest of the function.

Instead of determining paths from the path tag, we iterate through
modules' children recursively in the metadata. This will allow for
lazy external module resolution.
Also shuffles around the organization of numeric literals and types,
separating by int/uint/float instead of machine-vs-non-machine types.
This simplifies some code.
