Now that the necessary associated types exist for the `IntoIterator` trait this
commit stabilizes the trait as-is as well as all existing implementations.
The first commit adds a short note which I believe will reduce worries in people who work with closures very often and read the Rust book for their first time.
The second commit consists solely of tiny typo fixes. In some cases, I changed "logical" quotations like
She said, "I like programming".
to

because the latter seems to be the prevalent style in the book.
`IntoIterator` now has an extra associated item:
``` rust
trait IntoIterator {
type Item;
type IntoIter: Iterator<Self=Self::Item>;
}
```
This lets you bind the iterator \"`Item`\" directly when writing generic functions:
``` rust
// hypothetical change, not included in this PR
impl Extend<T> for Vec<T> {
// you can now write
fn extend<I>(&mut self, it: I) where I: IntoIterator<Item=T> { .. }
// instead of
fn extend<I: IntoIterator>(&mut self, it: I) where I::IntoIter: Iterator<Item=T> { .. }
}
```
The downside is that now you have to write an extra associated type in your `IntoIterator` implementations:
``` diff
impl<T> IntoIterator for Vec<T> {
+ type Item = T;
type IntoIter = IntoIter<T>;
fn into_iter(self) -> IntoIter<T> { .. }
}
```
Because this breaks all downstream implementations of `IntoIterator`, this is a [breaking-change]

Some function signatures have changed, so this is a [breaking-change].
In particular, radixes and numerical values of digits are represented by `u32` now.
Part of #22240
Fixes#22047
`Range<u64>` and `Range<i64>` may be longer than usize::MAX on 32-bit
platforms, and thus they cannot fulfill the protocol for
ExactSizeIterator. We don't want a nonobvious platform dependency in
basic iterator traits, so the trait impl is removed.
The logic of this change assumes that usize is at least 32-bit.
This is technically a breaking change; note that `Range<usize>` and
`Range<isize>` are always ExactSizeIterators.

The default implementation of .repr() will call conveniently call
transmute_copy which should be appropriate for all implementors, but is
memory unsafe if used wrong.
Fixes#22260
You need to use `unsafe impl` to implement the Repr trait now.

This overhauls the very meager docs that currently exist to clarify
various understandable confusions that I've noticed, e.g. people look in
`std::raw` for the "real" types of slices like `&[T]`, or think that
`Slice<T>` refers to `[T]` (fixes#22214).
This patch takes the liberty of offering some "style" guidance around
`raw::Slice`, since there's more restricted ways to duplicate all
functionality connected to it: `std::slice::from_raw_parts{,_mut}` for
construction and `.as_{,mut_}ptr` & `.len` for deconstruction.
It also deprecates the `std::raw::Closure` type which is now useless for
non-type-erased closures, and replaced by `TraitObject` for `&Fn`, `&mut
FnMut` etc, so I guess it should be called a:
