`Reader`, `Writer`, `MemReader`, `MemWriter`, and `MultiWriter` now work with `Vec<u8>` instead of `~[u8]`. This does introduce some extra copies since `from_utf8_owned` isn't usable anymore, but I think that can't be helped until `~str`'s representation changes.
In summary these are some example transitions this change makes:
'a || => ||: 'a
proc:Send() => proc():Send
The intended syntax for closures is to put the lifetime bound not at the front
but rather in the list of bounds. Currently there is no official support in the
AST for bounds that are not 'static, so this case is currently specially handled
in the parser to desugar to what the AST is expecting. Additionally, this moves
the bounds on procedures to the correct position, which is after the argument
list.
The current grammar for closures and procedures is:
procedure := 'proc' [ '<' lifetime-list '>' ] '(' arg-list ')'
[ ':' bound-list ] [ '->' type ]
closure := [ 'unsafe' ] ['<' lifetime-list '>' ] '|' arg-list '|'
[ ':' bound-list ] [ '->' type ]
lifetime-list := lifetime | lifetime ',' lifetime-list
arg-list := ident ':' type | ident ':' type ',' arg-list
bound-list := bound | bound '+' bound-list
bound := path | lifetime
This does not currently handle the << ambiguity in `Option<<'a>||>`, I am
deferring that to a later patch. Additionally, this removes the support for the
obsolete syntaxes of ~fn and &fn.

Work on #13287
This is not ready for a merge yet, but I wanted to get some eyes on what I have done so far.
As of right now, all references in the text to managed boxes or pointers are removed. Code associated with those specific sections of text have likewise been altered. I also removed all references to managed closures.
There is a small change I would like to add to the work done in 3137cd5, on the new lines 1495 and 1496, I would like to change those values to 10 and 20. I did the same in a later change on lines 1596 and 1508.
There are still bits of sample code that use managed pointers and the sigil @. Those are next on my list to remove, but I wanted to have the outstanding changes reviewed first. The uses of @ in the code samples are a bit more embedded, and I will need to be more careful changing them as to not change the purpose of the code examples.
I ensured that make check still passes, although I'm not sure if that actually tests the code in tutorial.md.
One issues I ran into, and tried to avoid, was that `tutorial.md` is formatted with a nice column limit. I was unsure how this was enforced, so wherever I edited a line, I did my best to keep edits on the line they previously existed on. As such, the plain text of `tutorial.md` looks a bit strange as I've left it, and I will clean that up as suggested. The rendered markdown output should not be affected.

Note: "different to" is not exactly incorrect, but "different from" is more
commonly accepted in both US and Commonwealth English, and also more
consistent with other usage within this tutorial.
The `Float` trait methods will be usable as functions via UFCS, and
we came to a consensus to remove duplicate functions like this a long
time ago.
It does still make sense to keep the duplicate functions when the trait
methods are static, unless the decision to leave out the in-scope trait
name resolution for static methods changes.

This fixes some problems with
make verify-grammar
llnextgen still reports a lot of errors
FYI: My build directory /my-test/build is different from the source directory /my-test/rust.

Summary:
So far, we've used the term POD "Plain Old Data" to refer to types that
can be safely copied. However, this term is not consistent with the
other built-in bounds that use verbs instead. This patch renames the Pod
kind into Copy.

When calling
make verify-grammar
a lot of errors are reported by llnextgen.
Only simple errors like:
missing semicolons,
missing single quotes,
usage of parentheses instead of squared brackets or
usage of single quote instead of double quote
are fixed by this patch.
This can only be tested, when llnextgen is installed.

When calling
make verify-grammar
or when llnextgen is not installed:
python2.7 src/etc/extract_grammar.py <src/doc/rust.md
an error is reported by extract_grammar.py that the
keyword "crate" is not defined.
This patch adds the keyword "crate" to the grammar in rust.md.

* Include tip given by Leo Testard in mailing list about labeled `break`
and `continue`:
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2014-March/009145.html
* cross-reference named lifetimes in tutorial -> lifetimes guide
* Broke named lifetimes section into two sub-sections.
* Added mention of `'static` lifetime.
* Remove clone-ability from all primitives. All shared state will now come
from the usage of the primitives being shared, not the primitives being
inherently shareable. This allows for fewer allocations for stack-allocated
primitives.
* Add `Mutex<T>` and `RWLock<T>` which are stack-allocated primitives for purely
wrapping a piece of data
* Remove `RWArc<T>` in favor of `Arc<RWLock<T>>`
* Remove `MutexArc<T>` in favor of `Arc<Mutex<T>>`
* Shuffle around where things are located
* The `arc` module now only contains `Arc`
* A new `lock` module contains `Mutex`, `RWLock`, and `Barrier`
* A new `raw` module contains the primitive implementations of `Semaphore`,
`Mutex`, and `RWLock`
* The Deref/DerefMut trait was implemented where appropriate
* `CowArc` was removed, the functionality is now part of `Arc` and is tagged
with `#[experimental]`.
* The crate now has #[deny(missing_doc)]
* `Arc` now supports weak pointers
This is not a large-scale rewrite of the functionality contained within the
`sync` crate, but rather a shuffling of who does what an a thinner hierarchy of
ownership to allow for better composability.
