- 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
Change the former repetition::
for 5.times { }
to::
do 5.times { }
.times() cannot be broken with `break` or `return` anymore; for those
cases, use a numerical range loop instead.
This removes a bunch of options from the task builder interface that are irrelevant to the new scheduler and were generally unused anyway. It also bumps the stack size of new scheduler tasks so that there's enough room to run rustc and changes the interface to `Thread` to not implicitly join threads on destruction, but instead require an explicit, and mandatory, call to `join`.
To be more specific:
`UPPERCASETYPE` was changed to `UppercaseType`
`type_new` was changed to `Type::new`
`type_function(value)` was changed to `value.method()`

This is a rewrite of TLS to get towards not requiring `@` when using task local storage. Most of the rewrite is straightforward, although there are two caveats:
1. Changing `local_set` to not require `@` is blocked on #7673
2. The code in `local_pop` is some of the most unsafe code I've written. A second set of eyes should definitely scrutinize it...
The public-facing interface currently hasn't changed, although it will have to change because `local_data::get` cannot return `Option<T>`, nor can it return `Option<&T>` (the lifetime isn't known). This will have to be changed to be given a closure which yield `&T` (or as an Option). I didn't do this part of the api rewrite in this pull request as I figured that it could wait until when `@` is fully removed.
This also doesn't deal with the issue of using something other than functions as keys, but I'm looking into using static slices (as mentioned in the issues).
Fix a laundry list of warnings involving unused imports that glutted
up compilation output. There are more, but there seems to be some
false positives (where 'remedy' appears to break the build), but this
particular set of fixes seems safe.
There were several old `#[doc(hidden)]` attributes in libstd and
libextra, left over from when rustdoc didn't hide private
definitions, tagged with `FIXME #3538`.
Since #3538 is now closed, I removed the `#[doc(hidden)]` attributes
as well as the FIXMEs, but I left `#[doc(hidden)]` in
libstd/task/spawn.rs and libstd/task/rt.rs since those two are
apparently `pub`, as well as in libextra/std.rc since std/extra is
`pub`.
