I think there's a trivial missing word in the Mutability document. I reformatted the resulting paragraph in vim, which seems to match what the rest of the document is doing as far as word wrapping.
Edit: I found another minor thing as I continued reading.
P.S. I'm re-reading the docs, since so much has changed since my first read, and they've gotten even better! Nice job!

I was profiling my code again and this time AsRef<str> for String
was eating up a considerable chunk of my runtime; adding the inline
annotation made the program run almost twice as fast!
While I was at it I also added the annotation to other implementations
of AsRef as well as AsMut.
This was added in d2f8074 along with the AssocSpace stuff. The AssocSpace
stuff was then removed in de8e0ae, except it seems the comment here was missed.
Fixes the problem in #16974 with unhelpful error messages when accidentally using the wrong syntax for the `crate_type="lib"` attribute. The attribute syntax error now shows up instead of "main function not found".
Hiiiii Rust, it's me again, Carol ;)
Based on the unused files that I found hanging out and that I removed in #25231, I looked at the rest of the auxiliary files to see if there were any more not being used. Guess what!! There were!!!!! ;)
Have I mentioned how much I enjoy deleting code? ;) ;) ;) <3
If the user intended to set the crate_type to "lib" but accidentally used
incorrect syntax such as `#![crate_type(lib)]`, the compilation would fail with
"main function not found". This made it hard to locate the source of the
problem, since the failure would cause the warning about the incorrect
attribute not to be shown.
This is a direct port of my prior work on the float formatting. The detailed description is available [here](https://github.com/lifthrasiir/rust-strconv#flt2dec). In brief,
* This adds a new hidden module `core::num::flt2dec` for testing from `libcoretest`. Why is it in `core::num` instead of `core::fmt`? Because I envision that the table used by `flt2dec` is directly applicable to `dec2flt` (cf. #24557) as well, which exceeds the realm of "formatting".
* This contains both Dragon4 algorithm (exact, complete but slow) and Grisu3 algorithm (exact, fast but incomplete).
* The code is accompanied with a large amount of self-tests and some exhaustive tests. In particular, `libcoretest` gets a new dependency on `librand`. For the external interface it relies on the existing test suite.
* It is known that, in the best case, the entire formatting code has about 30 KBs of binary overhead (judged from strconv experiments). Not too bad but there might be a potential room for improvements.
This is rather large code. I did my best to comment and annotate the code, but you have been warned.
For the maximal availability the original code was licensed in CC0, but I've also dual-licensed it in MIT/Apache as well so there should be no licensing concern.
This is [breaking-change] as it changes the float output slightly (and it also affects the casing of `inf` and `nan`). I hope this is not a big deal though :)
Fixes#7030, #18038 and #24556. Also related to #6220 and #20870.
## Known Issues
- [x] I've yet to finish `make check-stage1`. It does pass main test suites including `run-pass` but there might be some unknown edges on the doctests.
- [ ] Figure out how this PR affects rustc.
- [ ] Determine which internal routine is mapped to the formatting specifier. Depending on the decision, some internal routine can be safely removed (for instance, currently `to_shortest_str` is unused).
