This commit changes the ToStr trait to:
impl<T: fmt::Show> ToStr for T {
fn to_str(&self) -> ~str { format!("{}", *self) }
}
The ToStr trait has been on the chopping block for quite awhile now, and this is
the final nail in its coffin. The trait and the corresponding method are not
being removed as part of this commit, but rather any implementations of the
`ToStr` trait are being forbidden because of the generic impl. The new way to
get the `to_str()` method to work is to implement `fmt::Show`.
Formatting into a `&mut Writer` (as `format!` does) is much more efficient than
`ToStr` when building up large strings. The `ToStr` trait forces many
intermediate allocations to be made while the `fmt::Show` trait allows
incremental buildup in the same heap allocated buffer. Additionally, the
`fmt::Show` trait is much more extensible in terms of interoperation with other
`Writer` instances and in more situations. By design the `ToStr` trait requires
at least one allocation whereas the `fmt::Show` trait does not require any
allocations.

Iterators! Use them (in `is_utf16`), create them (in `utf16_items`).
Handle errors gracefully (`from_utf16_lossy`) and `from_utf16` returning `Option<~str>` instead of failing.
Add a pile of tests.
Many of the functions interacting with Windows APIs allocate a vector of
0's and do not retrieve a length directly from the API call, and so need
to be sure to remove the unmodified junk at the end of the vector.
This uses a vector iterator to avoid the necessity for unsafe indexing,
and makes this function slightly faster. Unfortunately #11751 means that
the iterator comes with repeated `null` checks which means the
pure-ASCII case still has room for significant improvement (and the
other cases too, but it's most significant for just ASCII).
Before:
is_utf8_100_ascii ... bench: 143 ns/iter (+/- 6)
is_utf8_100_multibyte ... bench: 134 ns/iter (+/- 4)
After:
is_utf8_100_ascii ... bench: 123 ns/iter (+/- 4)
is_utf8_100_multibyte ... bench: 115 ns/iter (+/- 5)
This replaces the iterator with one that handles lone surrogates
gracefully and uses that to implement `from_utf16_lossy` which replaces
invalid `u16`s with U+FFFD.
Declare a `type SendStr = MaybeOwned<'static>` to ease readibility of
types that needed the old SendStr behavior.
Implement all the traits for MaybeOwned that SendStr used to implement.
from_utf8_lossy() takes a byte vector and produces a ~str, converting
any invalid UTF-8 sequence into the U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER.
The replacement follows the guidelines in §5.22 Best Practice for U+FFFD
Substitution from the Unicode Standard (Version 6.2)[1], which also
matches the WHATWG rules for utf-8 decoding[2].

These are either returned from public functions, and really should
appear in the documentation, but don't since they're private, or are
implementation details that are currently public.
Renamed the invert() function in iter.rs to flip().
Also renamed the Invert<T> type to Flip<T>.
Some related code comments changed. Documentation that I could find has
been updated, and all the instances I could locate where the
function/type were called have been updated as well.
The `print!` and `println!` macros are now the preferred method of printing, and so there is no reason to export the `stdio` functions in the prelude. The functions have also been replaced by their macro counterparts in the tutorial and other documentation so that newcomers don't get confused about what they should be using.
