Summary:
* alloc::rc module stable
* Rc type stable
* Functions relating to weak references experimental
* core::cmp module stable
* PartialEq/Eq/PartialOrd/Ord unstable because trait reform will make them change again
* Equiv experimental because there may be better sol'ns
* lexical_ordering deprecated because it can be done trivially with the Ord trait
* min/max stable
* std::task module stable
* TaskBuilder::stdout/stderr experimental because we aren't certain we want to configure the environment this way
* try_future experimental because Future is experimental
* try unstable because the error type might change
* deschedule/failing unstable
The major thing I did differently than previously-discussed is that I made `try` experimental: there's been discussion that the error type `Box<Any + Send>` is not sufficient.
Per https://github.com/rust-lang/meeting-minutes/blob/master/Meeting-API-review-2014-07-16.md.
`call_visit_glue` is only ever called from trans_intrinsic, and the
block won't be unreachable there. Also, the comment doesn't make sense
anymore. When the code was introduced in 38fee9526a the function was
also responsible for the cleanup glue, which is no longer the case.
While we're at it, also fixed the debug message to output the right
function name.
Simplify example in 5.2 to remove hidden `#[deriving(Show)]`. Traits haven't been introduced yet and now it's easier to just type in the code and expect it to work. Add in some examples for constructing the enum types. Explicitly expose `#![feature(struct_variant)]` in the code to make it more transparent, this bit me when I worked through the tutorial.
Add references in chapter 8 to later chapters describing `Rc`, `Gc` and `Send`. This is a simple fix for #15293.
Simplify vector indexing example in chapter 13 and removed hidden, unnecessary, code. Gave an example usage of the derived `Rand` trait in chapter 17.
Removed references to removed 'extra' crate.
This implements RFC 39. Omitted lifetimes in return values will now be
inferred to more useful defaults, and an error is reported if a lifetime
in a return type is omitted and one of the two lifetime elision rules
does not specify what it should be.
This primarily breaks two uncommon code patterns. The first is this:
unsafe fn get_foo_out_of_thin_air() -> &Foo {
...
}
This should be changed to:
unsafe fn get_foo_out_of_thin_air() -> &'static Foo {
...
}
The second pattern that needs to be changed is this:
enum MaybeBorrowed<'a> {
Borrowed(&'a str),
Owned(String),
}
fn foo() -> MaybeBorrowed {
Owned(format!("hello world"))
}
Change code like this to:
enum MaybeBorrowed<'a> {
Borrowed(&'a str),
Owned(String),
}
fn foo() -> MaybeBorrowed<'static> {
Owned(format!("hello world"))
}
Closes#15552.

This is now linked to in the guide, so I want to make sure it's good. This
adds a bit more explanation, and brings usage in line with current good style.
This is accomplished by rewriting static expressions into equivalent patterns.
This way, patterns referencing static variables can both participate
in exhaustiveness analysis as well as be compiled down into the appropriate
branch of the decision trees that match expressions are codegened to.

Fixes#13626.
Fixes#13731.

Three small changes:
1. Re-organize headers in the Strings guide so they show up correctly.
2. build the strings guide with the other docs
3. include the strings guide in the list of guides
Reimplement the string slice's `Iterator<char>` by wrapping the already efficient
slice iterator.
The iterator uses our guarantee that the string contains valid UTF-8, but its only unsafe
code is transmuting the decoded `u32` into `char`.
Benchmarks suggest that the runtime of `Chars` benchmarks are reduced by up to 30%,
runtime of `Chars` reversed reduced by up to 60%.

Note: Branch name is no longer indicative of the implementation.
The first is to require that `#[crate_name]` and `--crate-name` always match (if both are specified). The second is to fix parallel compilation in cargo by mixing in `-C extra-filename` into the temporary outputs of the compiler.
Most stable. deschedule/failing experimental because of concerns about
naming and desirability.
Adds task::name() to replace deprecated task::with_name().
This is now linked to in the guide, so I want to make sure it's good. This
adds a bit more explanation, and brings usage in line with current good style.
When invoking the compiler in parallel, the intermediate output of the object
files and bytecode can stomp over one another if two crates with the same name
are being compiled.
The output file is already being disambiguated with `-C extra-filename`, so this
commit alters the naming of the temporary files to also mix in the extra
filename to ensure that file names don't clash.
This is accomplished by rewriting static expressions into equivalent patterns.
This way, patterns referencing static variables can both participate
in exhaustiveness analysis as well as be compiled down into the appropriate
branch of the decision trees that match expressions are codegened to.

Mark Eq, PartialEq, Ord, PartialOrd as unstable: they will change
slightly after trait reform. Equiv as experimental: better solutions
are desired. min/max stable.
Thanks to comments from @alexcrichton, write the next/next_back function
bodies without nested functions in a more top-to-bottom flow style.
Also improve comment style and motivate the unsafe blocks with comments.
Thanks to comments from @huonw, clarify decoding details and use
statics for important constants for UTF-8 decoding. Convert some magic
numbers scattered in the same file to use the statics too.
Removed `index_to_bitset` field and `_frozen` methods.
Drive-by: Added some missing docs on the `each_bit` method.
Drive-by: Put in a regular pattern: when calling `compute_id_range`, ensure `words_per_id > 0` by either asserting it or checking and returning early. (The prior code did the latter in a few cases where necessary, but debugging is much aided by the asserts.)
Fix#15019.
`call_visit_glue` is only ever called from trans_intrinsic, and the
block won't be unreachable there. Also, the comment doesn't make sense
anymore. When the code was introduced in 38fee9526a the function was
also responsible for the cleanup glue, which is no longer the case.
While we're at it, also fixed the debug message to output the right
function name.
