The only thing we really lose is that C-like enums with one variant and a
non-zero discriminant now take up space, but I do not think this is a
common usage. As previously noted, that was mostly there for
transitional compatibility with the pre-adt.rs codebase.
Out goes the extra layer of struct wrapping; the destructedness flag is
added to the end of the struct. This means that, if the struct
previously had alignment padding at the end, the flag will live there
instead of increasing the struct size.
Without this change, rust-mode doesn't work if 'cl hasn't been required
by something else, apparently. I'm not entirely sure what changed such
that I started seeing this problem instead of not, but maybe the emacs
world has been making progress towards not loading 'cl at runtime if
it's only needed at compile time.
(This change was previously submitted as e93a58d52 and accidentally reverted by ad8b437ad.)
This makes `#[deriving_clone]` useful.
I wasn't sure if a macro was the right way to do this, but it seems more maintainable than a series of repetitive `impl`s.

`log` can polymorphically log anything, but debug!, etc. requires a format string. With this patch you can equivalently write `debug!(foo)` or `debug!("%?", foo)`.
I'm doing this because I was trying to remove `log` (replacing it with nothing, at least temporarily), but there are a number of logging statements that just want to print an arbitrary value and don't care about the format string.
I'm not entirely convinced this is a good change, since it overloads the implementation of these macros and makes their usage slightly more nuanced.
Closes#4985 by removing the `dvec` module and all use cases throughout the compiler.
A number of uses were directly convertible to `let mut foo = ~[];`, while others in hash maps and some fields had to be converted to `@mut ~[T]`. A small number of `DVec` instances in fields were able to be converted directly to `~[T]` without the `@`, but this was a difficult thing to do.
The one thing `log` can still do is polymorphically log anything,
but debug!, etc. require a format string. With this patch
you can equivalently write `debug!(foo)` or `debug!("%?", foo)`
