### Rationale
There is no reason to support more than 2³² nodes or names at this moment, as compiling something that big (even without considering the quadratic space usage of some analysis passes) would take at least **64GB**.
Meanwhile, some can't (or barely can) compile rustc because it requires almost **1.5GB**.
### Potential problems
Can someone confirm this doesn't affect metadata (de)serialization? I can't tell myself, I know nothing about it.
### Results
Some structures have a size reduction of 25% to 50%: [before](https://gist.github.com/luqmana/3a82a51fa9c86d9191fa) - [after](https://gist.github.com/eddyb/5a75f8973d3d8018afd3).
Sadly, there isn't a massive change in the memory used for compiling stage2 librustc (it doesn't go over **1.4GB** as [before](http://huonw.github.io/isrustfastyet/mem/), but I can barely see the difference).
However, my own testcase (previously peaking at **1.6GB** in typeck) shows a reduction of **200**-**400MB**.
This purges about 500 lines of visitor cruft from lint passes. All lints are
handled in a much more sane way at this point. The other huge bonus of this
commit is that there are no more @-boxes in the lint passes, fixing the 500MB
memory regression seen when the lint passes were refactored.
Closes#8589
has a unique id. Fixes numerous bugs in macro expansion and deriving. Add two
representative tests.

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`.

This requires changes to method search and to codegen. We now emit a
vtable for objects that includes methods from all supertraits.
Closes#4100.
Also, actually populate the cache for vtables, and also key it by type
so that it actually works.
to favor inherent methods over extension methods.
The reason to favor inherent methods is that otherwise an impl
like
impl Foo for @Foo { fn method(&self) { self.method() } }
causes infinite recursion. The current change to favor inherent methods is
rather hacky; the method resolution code is in need of a refactoring.
- 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
`crate => Crate`
`local => Local`
`blk => Block`
`crate_num => CrateNum`
`crate_cfg => CrateConfig`
Also, Crate and Local are not wrapped in spanned<T> anymore.
for cases where it's hard to decide what id to use for the lookup); modify
irrefutable bindings code to move or copy depending on the type, rather than
threading through a flag. Also updates how local variables and arguments are
registered. These changes were hard to isolate.
