We used to generate a module T with a serialize() and deserialize() fn,
but this was suboptimal for a number of reasons:
- it required moving serialization into core so that uint etc worked
- it was harder to override the serialization behavior locally
(this is now trivial)
- Move io, run and rand to core.
- Remove incorrect ctypes module (use libc).
- Remove os-specific modules for os and fs.
- Split fs between core::path and core::os.
As per discussion on IRC. I am about to file an RFC for further
discussion about the more general issue of whether to enforce
invariants through types, typestate, or dynamic checks, but for now,
removing the misleading name "last_unsafe".
This makes it possible to move them between crates without confusion,
and to instantiate them at a point where the monomorphizing
substitutions are known.
Issue #1944
This required changing almost all users of hashmaps to import the hashmap interface first.
The `size` member in the hashmap structure was renamed to `count` to work around a name conflict.

Programs using classes with fields only (no methods) compile and run,
as long as nothing refers to a class in a different crate (todo).
Also changed the AST representation of classes to have a separate
record for constructor info (instead of inlining the fields in the
item_class node), and fixed up spans and pretty-printing for
classes.
