To allow these braced macro invocation, this PR removes the optional expression from `ast::Block` and instead uses a `StmtKind::Expr` at the end of the statement list.
Currently, braced macro invocations in blocks can expand into statements (and items) except when they are last in a block, in which case they can only expand into expressions.
For example,
```rust
macro_rules! make_stmt {
() => { let x = 0; }
}
fn f() {
make_stmt! {} //< This is OK...
let x = 0; //< ... unless this line is commented out.
}
```
Fixes#34418.
A number of trait methods like PartialEq::eq or Hash::hash don't
actually need a distinct arm for each variant, because the code within
the arm only depends on the number and types of the fields in the
variants. We can easily exploit this fact to create less and better
code for enums with multiple variants that have no fields at all, the
extreme case being C-like enums.
For nickel.rs and its by now infamous 800 variant enum, this reduces
optimized compile times by 25% and non-optimized compile times by 40%.
Also peak memory usage is down by almost 40% (310MB down to 190MB).
To be fair, most other crates don't benefit nearly as much, because
they don't have as huge enums. The crates in the Rust distribution that
I measured saw basically no change in compile times (I only tried
optimized builds) and only 1-2% reduction in peak memory usage.
