All of these features have been obsolete since February 2014, where most have
been obsolete since 2013. There shouldn't be any more need to keep around the
parser hacks after this length of time.
The span on a inner doc-comment would point to the next token, e.g. the span for the `a` line points to the `b` line, and the span of `b` points to the `fn`.
```rust
//! a
//! b
fn bar() {}
```
One of the long-term goals of the libstd facade is to move the collections
library underneath the standard library. This would imply that libcollections
today would invert its dependency with libstd.
One of the primary blockers for doing this is the HashMap collection. Of its two
major dependencies, hashing and randomness, this commit is the first step in
dealing with hashing.
When moving the hash module beneath libstd, it must break its primary dependence
on the io::Writer trait (used as the hashing state). The proposed strategy for
breaking this dependence is taking a similar path as core::fmt, which is to have
the hash module define its own "writer trait". This trait would be similar to
std::io::Writer, except that it would not return errors and it would have fewer
convenience methods.
The Hash trait today has its type parameter behind a feature gate (default type
parameters), so this pending change will likely break no code which hasn't opted
in to the feature gate. The SipState struct will lose its implementation of
io::Writer, but it will regain similar methods for dealing with writing data.
This change specifically prepares for the hash migration by modifying
deriving(Hash) to use the std:#️⃣:Writer bound instead of the std::io::Writer
bound. This bound is currently wired to std::io::Writer, but after a snapshot it
will have no need to be wired to the io writer trait.
This commit alters rustdoc to crawl the metadata of upstream libraries in order
to fill in default methods for traits implemented in downstream crates. This,
for example, documents the `insert` function on hash maps.
This is a fairly lossy extraction from the metadata. Documentation and
attributes are lost, but they aren't used anyway. Unfortunately, argument names
are also lost because they are not present in the metadata. Source links are
also lost because the spans are not serialized.
While not perfect, it appears that presenting this documentation through rustdoc
is much better than nothing, so I wanted to land this to allow iteration on it
later on.

Right now, when you look in the "Implementors" section for traits, you only see
implementors within that crate. This commit modifies that section to include
implementors from neighboring crates as well.
For example, the Container trait currently says that it is only implemented by
strings and slices, but it is in fact implemented by nearly all containers.
Implementation-wise, this change generates an "implementors cache" similarly to
the search index where each crate will append implementors to the files. When
the page for a trait is loaded, it will load its specific cache file, rendering
links for all upstream types which implement the trait.
Add slice::MutableCloneableVector to the prelude. It's the only slice
trait that's currently missing.
Update rust.vim to match the latest prelude and current set of keywords.
Also teach it to handle box placement expressions specially.
