This is for greater uniformity (for example, macros that generate
tuples). rustc already supported 1-tuple patterns, but there was no
way to construct a 1-tuple term.
As far as I can tell, the only reason run-pass/type-use-i1-versus-i8
is trying to do a read is because that code was left over from the
original program the issue was found in. When that test is run as
part of check-fast, and apparently only in that case, the test blocks
indefinitely, which is bad.
Consts of such enums are aligned correctly, so we could either misalign
them to match the type_of, or fix the type_of. The latter seems like a
better idea.
* use a proper exported data type with private fields
* implement core::container::Container
* use the current constructor convention
* use explicit self
* get rid of DVec and the mutable fields

`simplify_type` was bogus, as there was no way for it to handle enums
properly. It was also slow, because it created many Rust types at runtime. In
general creating Rust types during trans is a source of slowness, and I'd like
to avoid doing it as much as possible. (It is probably not possible to
eliminate it entirely, due to `subst`, but we should get rid of as much of it
as we can.) So this patch replaces `simplify_type` with `sizing_type_of`,
which creates a size-equivalent LLVM type directly without going through a
Rust type first.
Because this is causing an ICE in Servo, I'm rubber stamping it.
