The functions is useful for all kinds of fat pointers, but get_len()
just feels so wrong for trait object fat pointers. Let's use get_meta()
because that's rather neutral.
This increases regionck performance greatly - type-checking on
librustc decreased from 9.1s to 8.1s. Because of Amdahl's law,
total performance is improved only by about 1.5% (LLVM wizards,
this is your opportunity to shine!).

I am somewhat worried really need to find out why we have this Red Queen's
Race going on here. Originally I suspected it may be a problem from RFC1214's
warnings, but it seems to be an effect from other changes.
However, the increase seems to be mostly in LLVM's time, so I guess
it's the LLVM wizards' problem.
The implementation of the remainder operation belongs to
librustc_trans, but it is also stubbed out in libcore in order to
expose it as a trait on primitive types. Instead of exposing some
implementation details (like the upcast to `f64` in MSVC), use a
minimal implementation just like that of the `Div` trait.
Since enums are namespaced now, should we also remove the `Fk` prefixes from `FnKind` and remove the reexport? (The reexport must be removed because otherwise it clashes with glob imports containing `ItemFn`). IMO writing `FnKind::Method` is much clearer than `FkMethod`.
It doesn't really make sense for DefId to be in libsyntax -- it is concerned with a single crate only. It is the compiler that understands the idea of many crates. (At some point, there might be a useful intermediate point here.) This is a refactoring in support of incr. compilation, which will be adjusting the notion of a DefId to make it more durable across compilations.
This will probably be a [breaking-change] for every plugin ever. You need to adjust things as follows:
use rustc::middle::def_id::{DefId, LOCAL_CRATE}; // two most common definitions
ast_util::is_local(def_id) => def_id.is_local()
ast_util::local_def(node_id) => DefId::local(node_id)
We're currently possibly introducing an unneeded temporary, make use of
InsertValue which is said to kick us off of FastISel and we generate
loads/stores of first class aggregates, which is bad as well. Let's not
do all these things.
Part of #24407.
This PR doesn't have code example since I didn't find how to raise it. If someone finds a code which does, please say it !

It came up twice in quick succession on IRC that rustdoc doesn't run tests in bin crates, and doesn't give any explanation/warning either as to why. I thought it couldn't hurt to emphasize that in the Book.
