The enums chapter at the moment is ... weird. The examples aren't about enums, they're about structs, and most of the chapter talks about how enums don't support comparison operators by default (which is also true of other compound data types.) I think there was a story here once, but some coherency got lost in refactoring.
There are two preliminary patches here, one to combine the struct and tuple-struct chapters, and one to document unit-like structs, because enum syntax is easier to explain once you have those three. The final patch moves the enum chapter after the struct chapter, and rewrites most of it to talk about enums usefully (including covering matches on enums).

This makes the compatibility matrix render a little nicer on github, and also removes a note about windows support from 0.12 (Which is immaterial now that we're approaching 1.0)
Attempted to organize them in a way more relevant to what newbies
would be interested in hearing.
I am not satisfied by this at all, but by virtue of deleting old links alone I think it is an improvement.

* segfault due to not copying drop flag when coercing
* fat pointer casts
* segfault due to not checking drop flag properly
* debuginfo for DST smart pointers
* unreachable code in drop glue
This trait will be used to correctly build a command line for link.exe with MSVC
and may perhaps one day be used to generate a command line for `lld`, but this
commit currently just refactors the bindings used to call `ld`.
There is no subtyping relationship between the types (or their non-freshened
variants), so they can not be merged.
Fixes#22645Fixes#24352Fixes#23825
Should fix#25235 (no test in issue).
Should fix#19976 (test is outdated).
I've been working with some archives generated by MSVC's `lib.exe` tool lately,
and it looks like the embedded name of the members in those archives sometimes
have slahes in the name (e.g. `foo/bar/baz.obj`). Currently the compiler chokes
on these paths as it assumes that each file in the archive is only the filename
(which is what unix does).
This commit interprets the name of each file in all archives as a path and then
only uses the `file_name` portion of the path to extract the file to a separate
location and then reassemble it back into a new archive later. Note that
duplicate filenames are already handled, so this won't introduce any conflicts.
I did a read through of the manual. This commit corrects various small points and expands some sections, while avoiding too much detail.

At the moment, http://doc.rust-lang.org/error-index.html isn't linked to from anywhere (except Reddit). This should allow search engines to find error codes!
I also capitalised "The Standard Library" and neatened a few bits of grammar.
Also fixed: `#[main]` inside one of the error descriptions.
Add diagnostic message for E0317, E0154, E0259 and E0260; part of #24407.
About E0317, I was unsure if I should add an example of what could be wrong, such as `struct i64`, `enum char { A, B }` or `type isize = i64`. I decided against it, since the diagnostic message looks clear enough to me.
What do you think?
