Now that we have an overloaded comparison (`==`) operator, and that `Vec`/`String` deref to `[T]`/`str` on method calls, many `as_slice()`/`as_mut_slice()`/`to_string()` calls have become redundant. This patch removes them. These were the most common patterns:
- `assert_eq(test_output.as_slice(), "ground truth")` -> `assert_eq(test_output, "ground truth")`
- `assert_eq(test_output, "ground truth".to_string())` -> `assert_eq(test_output, "ground truth")`
- `vec.as_mut_slice().sort()` -> `vec.sort()`
- `vec.as_slice().slice(from, to)` -> `vec.slice(from_to)`
---
Note that e.g. `a_string.push_str(b_string.as_slice())` has been left untouched in this PR, since we first need to settle down whether we want to favor the `&*b_string` or the `b_string[]` notation.
This is rebased on top of #19167

This commit:
* Changes the #deriving code so that it generates code that utilizes fewer
reexports (in particur Option::* and Result::*), which is necessary to
remove those reexports in the future
* Changes other areas of the codebase so that fewer reexports are utilized
Comparison traits have gained an `Rhs` input parameter that defaults to `Self`. And now the comparison operators can be overloaded to work between different types. In particular, this PR allows the following operations (and their commutative versions):
- `&str` == `String` == `CowString`
- `&[A]` == `&mut [B]` == `Vec<C>` == `CowVec<D>` == `[E, ..N]` (for `N` up to 32)
- `&mut A` == `&B` (for `Sized` `A` and `B`)
Where `A`, `B`, `C`, `D`, `E` may be different types that implement `PartialEq`. For example, these comparisons are now valid: `string == "foo"`, and `vec_of_strings == ["Hello", "world"]`.

Since the `==` may now work on different types, operations that relied on the old "same type restriction" to drive type inference, will need to be type annotated. These are the most common fallout cases:
- `some_vec == some_iter.collect()`: `collect` needs to be type annotated: `collect::<Vec<_>>()`
- `slice == &[a, b, c]`: RHS doesn't get coerced to an slice, use an array instead `[a, b, c]`
- `lhs == []`: Change expression to `lhs.is_empty()`
- `lhs == some_generic_function()`: Type annotate the RHS as necessary

This commit removes the `std::local_data` module in favor of a new
`std::thread_local` module providing thread local storage. The module provides
two variants of TLS: one which owns its contents and one which is based on
scoped references. Each implementation has pros and cons listed in the
documentation.
Both flavors have accessors through a function called `with` which yield a
reference to a closure provided. Both flavors also panic if a reference cannot
be yielded and provide a function to test whether an access would panic or not.
This is an implementation of [RFC 461][rfc] and full details can be found in
that RFC.
This is a breaking change due to the removal of the `std::local_data` module.
All users can migrate to the new thread local system like so:
thread_local!(static FOO: Rc<RefCell<Option<T>>> = Rc::new(RefCell::new(None)))
The old `local_data` module inherently contained the `Rc<RefCell<Option<T>>>` as
an implementation detail which must now be explicitly stated by users.

This commit deprecates the `_equiv` family of methods on `HashMap` and
`HashSet` by instead generalizing the "normal" methods like `get` and
`remove` to use the new `std::borrow` infrastructure.

This breaks code that referred to variant names in the same namespace as
their enum. Reexport the variants in the old location or alter code to
refer to the new locations:
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
=>
```
pub use self::Foo::{A, B};
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
or
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = Foo::A;
}
```

I found some occurrences of "failure" and "fails" in the documentation. I changed them to "panics" if it means a task panic. Otherwise I left it as is, or changed it to "errors" to clearly distinguish them.
Also, I made a minor fix that is breaking the layout of a module page. "Example" is shown in an irrelevant place from the following page: http://doc.rust-lang.org/std/os/index.html
Throughout the docs, "failure" was replaced with "panics" if it means a
task panic. Otherwise, it remained as is, or changed to "errors" to
clearly differentiate it from a task panic.
* Renames/deprecates the simplest and most obvious methods
* Adds FIXME(conventions)s for outstanding work
* Marks "handled" methods as unstable
NOTE: the semantics of reserve and reserve_exact have changed!
Other methods have had their semantics changed as well, but in a
way that should obviously not typecheck if used incorrectly.
Lots of work and breakage to come, but this handles most of the core
APIs and most eggregious breakage. Future changes should *mostly* focus on
niche collections, APIs, or simply back-compat additions.
[breaking-change]
* Moves multi-collection files into their own directory, and splits them into seperate files
* Changes exports so that each collection has its own module
* Adds underscores to public modules and filenames to match standard naming conventions
(that is, treemap::{TreeMap, TreeSet} => tree_map::TreeMap, tree_set::TreeSet)
* Renames PriorityQueue to BinaryHeap
* Renames SmallIntMap to VecMap
* Miscellanious fallout fixes
