It is simply defined as `f64` across every platform right now.
A use case hasn't been presented for a `float` type defined as the
highest precision floating point type implemented in hardware on the
platform. Performance-wise, using the smallest precision correct for the
use case greatly saves on cache space and allows for fitting more
numbers into SSE/AVX registers.
If there was a use case, this could be implemented as simply a type
alias or a struct thanks to `#[cfg(...)]`.
Closes#6592

gather_loans does not need to recurse into any items declared in the
current block. Rather than special-case `fk_item_fn` and `fk_method`,
just make the GatherLoanVisitor's visit_item method a no-op.
This indirectly implies that the example of #7740 is fixed:
fn f() {
static A: &'static char = &'A';
}
Since we do not recurse into items, we no longer encounter `&'A'`.
This removes the stacking of type parameters that occurs when invoking
trait methods, and fixes all places in the standard library that were
relying on it. It is somewhat awkward in places; I think we'll probably
want something like the `Foo::<for T>::new()` syntax.
Fixes for #8625 to prevent assigning to `&mut` in borrowed or aliasable locations. The old code was insufficient in that it failed to catch bizarre cases like `& &mut &mut`.

Also cleanup the treatment of mutability in mem_categorization, which still
included the concept of interior mutability. At some point, we should
refactor the types to exclude the possibility of interior mutability rather
than just ignoring the mutability value in those cases.
- Made naming schemes consistent between Option, Result and Either
- Changed Options Add implementation to work like the maybe monad (return None if any of the inputs is None)
- Removed duplicate Option::get and renamed all related functions to use the term `unwrap` instead
This is preparation for removing `@fn`.
This does *not* use default methods yet, because I don't know
whether they work. If they do, a forthcoming PR will use them.
This also changes the precedence of `as`.
`crate => Crate`
`local => Local`
`blk => Block`
`crate_num => CrateNum`
`crate_cfg => CrateConfig`
Also, Crate and Local are not wrapped in spanned<T> anymore.
