This lazily initializes the taskgroup structs for ```spawn_unlinked``` tasks. If such a task never spawns another task linked to it (or a descendant of it), its taskgroup is simply never initialized at all. Also if an unlinked task spawns another unlinked task, neither of them will need to initialize their taskgroups. This works for the main task too.
I benchmarked this with the following test case and observed a ~~21% speedup (average over 4 runs: 7.85 sec -> 6.20 sec, 2.5 GHz)~~ 11% speedup, see comment below.
```
use std::task;
use std::cell::Cell;
use std::rt::comm;
static NUM: uint = 1024*256;
fn run(f: ~fn()) {
let mut t = task::task();
t.unlinked();
t.spawn(f);
}
fn main() {
do NUM.times {
let (p,c) = comm::oneshot();
let c = Cell::new(c);
do run { c.take().send(()); }
p.recv();
}
}
```
`fn slice_bytes` is marked unsafe since it allows violating the valid
string encoding property; but the function did also allow extending the
lifetime of the slice by mistake, since it's returning `&str`.
Use the annotation `slice_bytes<'a>(&'a str, ...) -> &'a str` so
that all uses of `slice_bytes` are region checked correctly.
Let Option be a base for a widely useful one- or zero- item iterator.
Refactor OptionIterator to support any generic element type, so the same
iterator impl can be used for both &T, &mut T and T iterators.
This is an alternative version to https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/8268, where instead of transitioning to `get()` completely, I transitioned to `unwrap()` completely.
My reasoning for also opening this PR is that having two different functions with identical behavior on a common datatype is bad for consistency and confusing for users, and should be solved as soon as possible. The fact that apparently half the code uses `get()`, and the other half `unwrap()` only makes it worse.
If the final naming decision ends up different, there needs to be a big renaming anyway, but until then it should at least be consistent.
---
- Made naming schemes consistent between Option, Result and Either
- Lifted the quality of the either and result module to that of option
- Changed Options Add implementation to work like the maybe Monad (return None if any of the inputs is None)
See https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/6002, especially my last comment.
- Removed duplicate Option::get and renamed all related functions to use the term `unwrap` instead
See also https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/7887.
Todo:
Adding testcases for all function in the three modules. Even without the few functions I added, the coverage wasn't complete to begin with. But I'd rather do that as a follow up PR, I've touched to much code here already, need to go through them again later.

The truncation needs to be done in the console logger in order
to catch all the logging output, and because truncation only matters
when outputting to the console.
When strings lose their trailing null, this pattern will become dangerous:
let foo = "bar";
let foo_ptr: *u8 = &foo[0];
Instead we should use c_strs to handle this correctly.
Every time run_sched_once performs a 'scheduling action' it needs to guarantee
that it runs at least one more time, so enqueue another run_sched_once callback.
The primary reason it needs to do this is because not all async callbacks
are guaranteed to run, it's only guaranteed that *a* callback will run after
enqueing one - some may get dropped.
At the moment this means we wastefully create lots of callbacks to ensure that
there will *definitely* be a callback queued up to continue running the scheduler.
The logic really needs to be tightened up here.
