Added notes explaining how [expr, ..expr] form is used, targeted at
individuals like me who thought it was more general and handled
dynamic repeat expressions. (I left a TODO for this section in a
comment, but perhaps that is bad form for the manual...)
Added example of `do` syntax with a function of arity > 1; yes, one
should be able to derive this from the text above it, but it is still
a useful detail to compare and contrast against the arity == 1 case.
Added example of using for expression over a uint range, since someone
who is most used to write `for(int i; i < lim; i++) { ... }` will
likely want to know how to translate that form (regardless of whether
it happens to be good style or not for their use-case).
Added note about the semi-strange meaning of "fixed size" of vectors
in the vector type section.
In order to mitigate typo of target-triples, error notification of unsupported target triples which defined in mk/platform.mk added.
minor fix for arm-linux-androideabi added.
This currently requires workarounds for the borrow checker not being flow-sensitive for `LinearMap` and `TrieMap`, but it can already be expressed for `TreeMap` and `SmallIntMap` without that.
Kills some warnings, and implements str::each_char_reverse so that it actually iterates. The test case wasn't detecting a failure, since the loop body was never executed.
`let v = [24, ..1000];` now more or less emits the same IR as:
```Rust
let mut i = 0;
while i < 1000 {
v[i] = 24;
i += 1;
}
```
LLVM will still turn it into a memset if possible with optimization on.
The reasoning for doing it this way is that it's much easier to transition method-by-method to the `Map` API than trying to do the migration all at once.
I found an issue unrelated to my changes in one of the run-fail tests - if it uses `LinearMap`, it still fails but exits with 0. I xfailed it for now and opened [an issue](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/5512), because it's not caused by these changes.

There are a lot of commits here, but not all that much substance. Mostly just refactoring.
I started sketching out the beginnings of a very simple I/O API in `core::rt::io` that represents I/O streams as a single `Stream` trait instead of `Reader` / `Writer` pairs. This seems to be the more common pattern (at least this is how the .NET BCL does it) and it seems to me that separate readers and writers would make duplex streams very awkward. Regardless, I don't intend to go very far down the I/O API design road without some mailing list discussion.
I've also started on the uv bindings for file I/O but haven't gotten very far.
Also hooked up the new scheduler to `rust_start` and the compiletest driver. 70% of run-pass test cases already pass, but I wouldn't read too much into that.
I also split the direct, low-level uv bindings in two so that the scheduler can have its own set, leaving `std::net` on its own.
