There is an issue with lev_distance, where
```
fn main() {
println!("{}", "\x80".lev_distance("\x80"))
}
```
prints `2`.
This is due to using the byte length instead of the char length.
Additionally, support zero-sized types.
Now there isn't a safe interface of `PartialVec` anymore, it's just a bare data structure with destructor that assumes you handled everything correctly before.
Replaces BTree with BTreeMap and BTreeSet, which are completely new implementations.
BTreeMap's internal Node representation is particularly inefficient at the moment to
make this first implementation easy to reason about and fairly safe. Both collections
are also currently missing some of the tooling specific to sorted collections, which
is planned as future work pending reform of these APIs. General implementation issues
are discussed with TODOs internally

Still waiting on compilation/test/bench stuff locally, but the edit-distance on any errors should be very small at this point. This is ready to be reviewed.

BTreeMap still has a lot of room for optimization, but it's already beating out TreeMap on most access patterns.

# Rationale
When dealing with strings, many functions deal with either a `char` (unicode
codepoint) or a byte (utf-8 encoding related). There is often an inconsistent
way in which methods are referred to as to whether they contain "byte", "char",
or nothing in their name. There are also issues open to rename *all* methods to
reflect that they operate on utf8 encodings or bytes (e.g. utf8_len() or
byte_len()).
The current state of String seems to largely be what is desired, so this PR
proposes the following rationale for methods dealing with bytes or characters:
> When constructing a string, the input encoding *must* be mentioned (e.g.
> from_utf8). This makes it clear what exactly the input type is expected to be
> in terms of encoding.
>
> When a method operates on anything related to an *index* within the string
> such as length, capacity, position, etc, the method *implicitly* operates on
> bytes. It is an understood fact that String is a utf-8 encoded string, and
> burdening all methods with "bytes" would be redundant.
>
> When a method operates on the *contents* of a string, such as push() or pop(),
> then "char" is the default type. A String can loosely be thought of as being a
> collection of unicode codepoints, but not all collection-related operations
> make sense because some can be woefully inefficient.
# Method stabilization
The following methods have been marked #[stable]
* The String type itself
* String::new
* String::with_capacity
* String::from_utf16_lossy
* String::into_bytes
* String::as_bytes
* String::len
* String::clear
* String::as_slice
The following methods have been marked #[unstable]
* String::from_utf8 - The error type in the returned `Result` may change to
provide a nicer message when it's `unwrap()`'d
* String::from_utf8_lossy - The returned `MaybeOwned` type still needs
stabilization
* String::from_utf16 - The return type may change to become a `Result` which
includes more contextual information like where the error
occurred.
* String::from_chars - This is equivalent to iter().collect(), but currently not
as ergonomic.
* String::from_char - This method is the equivalent of Vec::from_elem, and has
been marked #[unstable] becuase it can be seen as a
duplicate of iterator-based functionality as well as
possibly being renamed.
* String::push_str - This *can* be emulated with .extend(foo.chars()), but is
less efficient because of decoding/encoding. Due to the
desire to minimize API surface this may be able to be
removed in the future for something possibly generic with
no loss in performance.
* String::grow - This is a duplicate of iterator-based functionality, which may
become more ergonomic in the future.
* String::capacity - This function was just added.
* String::push - This function was just added.
* String::pop - This function was just added.
* String::truncate - The failure conventions around String methods and byte
indices isn't totally clear at this time, so the failure
semantics and return value of this method are subject to
change.
* String::as_mut_vec - the naming of this method may change.
* string::raw::* - these functions are all waiting on [an RFC][2]
[2]: rust-lang/rfcs#240
The following method have been marked #[experimental]
* String::from_str - This function only exists as it's more efficient than
to_string(), but having a less ergonomic function for
performance reasons isn't the greatest reason to keep it
around. Like Vec::push_all, this has been marked
experimental for now.
The following methods have been #[deprecated]
* String::append - This method has been deprecated to remain consistent with the
deprecation of Vec::append. While convenient, it is one of
the only functional-style apis on String, and requires more
though as to whether it belongs as a first-class method or
now (and how it relates to other collections).
* String::from_byte - This is fairly rare functionality and can be emulated with
str::from_utf8 plus an assert plus a call to to_string().
Additionally, String::from_char could possibly be used.
* String::byte_capacity - Renamed to String::capacity due to the rationale
above.
* String::push_char - Renamed to String::push due to the rationale above.
* String::pop_char - Renamed to String::pop due to the rationale above.
* String::push_bytes - There are a number of `unsafe` functions on the `String`
type which allow bypassing utf-8 checks. These have all
been deprecated in favor of calling `.as_mut_vec()` and
then operating directly on the vector returned. These
methods were deprecated because naming them with relation
to other methods was difficult to rationalize and it's
arguably more composable to call .as_mut_vec().
* String::as_mut_bytes - See push_bytes
* String::push_byte - See push_bytes
* String::pop_byte - See push_bytes
* String::shift_byte - See push_bytes
# Reservation methods
This commit does not yet touch the methods for reserving bytes. The methods on
Vec have also not yet been modified. These methods are discussed in the upcoming
[Collections reform RFC][1]
[1]: https://github.com/aturon/rfcs/blob/collections-conventions/active/0000-collections-conventions.md#implicit-growth
This commit deprecates the String::shift_char() function in favor of the
addition of an insert()/remove() pair of functions. This aligns the API with Vec
in that characters can be inserted at arbitrary positions. Additionaly, there
is no `_char` suffix due to the rationaled laid out in the previous commit.
These functions are both introduced as unstable as their failure semantics,
while in line with slices/vectors, are uncertain about whether they should
remain the same.

The following methods, types, and names have become stable:
* Vec
* Vec::as_mut_slice
* Vec::as_slice
* Vec::capacity
* Vec::clear
* Vec::default
* Vec::grow
* Vec::insert
* Vec::len
* Vec::new
* Vec::pop
* Vec::push
* Vec::remove
* Vec::set_len
* Vec::shrink_to_fit
* Vec::truncate
* Vec::with_capacity
The following have become unstable:
* Vec::dedup // naming
* Vec::from_fn // naming and unboxed closures
* Vec::get_mut // will be removed for IndexMut
* Vec::grow_fn // unboxed closures and naming
* Vec::retain // unboxed closures
* Vec::swap_remove // uncertain naming
* Vec::from_elem // uncertain semantics
* vec::unzip // should be generic for all collections
The following have been deprecated
* Vec::append - call .extend()
* Vec::append_one - call .push()
* Vec::from_slice - call .to_vec()
* Vec::grow_set - call .grow() and then .push()
* Vec::into_vec - move the vector instead
* Vec::move_iter - renamed to iter_move()
* Vec::to_vec - call .clone()
The following methods remain experimental pending conventions
* vec::raw
* vec::raw::from_buf
* Vec:from_raw_parts
* Vec::push_all
This is a breaking change in terms of the signature of the `Vec::grow` function.
The argument used to be taken by reference, but it is now taken by value. Code
must update by removing a leading `&` sigil or by calling `.clone()` to create a
value.
[breaking-change]
Change to resolve and update compiler and libs for uses.
[breaking-change]
Enum variants are now in both the value and type namespaces. This means that
if you have a variant with the same name as a type in scope in a module, you
will get a name clash and thus an error. The solution is to either rename the
type or the variant.
