This has my voice *very strongly*. I'm not sure if it's too much. I'd find it okay if I had to tone it back, and I don't want it to be _too strong_, but clinical docs are boring.
It turns out that bindings introduced by 'for' loops were not treated hygienically. The fix for this is to make the 'for' expansion more like a macro; rather than expanding sub-pieces and then assembling them, we need to rewrite the for and then call expand again on the whole thing.
This PR includes a test and the fix.
It also contains a number of other things:
- unit tests for other forms of hygiene (currently ignored)
- a fix for the isaac.rs macro that (it turned out) was relying on capturing
- other miscellaneous cleanup and comments
This will break code like:
fn f(x: &mut int) {}
let mut a = box 1i;
f(a);
Change it to:
fn f(x: &mut int) {}
let mut a = box 1i;
f(&mut *a);
RFC 33; issue #10504.

vector-reference-to-unsafe-pointer-to-element cast if the type to be
casted to is not fully specified.
This is a conservative change to fix the user-visible symptoms of the
issue. A more flexible treatment would delay cast checks to after
function typechecking.
This can break code that did:
let x: *u8 = &([0, 0]) as *_;
Change this code to:
let x: *u8 = &([0, 0]) as *u8;
Closes#14893.

Yes, it is important to be careful, but repeated emphasis about it is probably
not helpful — it starts to sound like you came for a tutorial but found a
finger-wagging lecture.
Even after I removed a few of these comments, there are still several left in
the text. That's probably fine! A couple of mentions of how this is dangerous
and you ought to be careful may be a good reminder to the reader.
After making the edits, I reflowed the paragraphs that I had touched, using
emacs's "M-x fill-paragraph", with fill-column equal to 70.

The f128 type has very little support in the compiler and the feature is
basically unusable today. Supporting half-baked features in the compiler can be
detrimental to the long-term development of the compiler, and hence this feature
is being removed.

This will break code that incorrectly did things like:

Fix such code to not rely on undefined behavior.
