Regression testing is already done by isrustfastyet.
This is work continued from the now landed #7495 and #7521 pulls.
Removing the headers from unique vectors is another project, so I've separated the allocator.
It's broken/unmaintained and needs to be rewritten to avoid managed
pointers and needless copies. A full rewrite is necessary and the API
will need to be redone so it's not worth keeping this around (#7628).
Closes#2236, #2744
Implement methods `.pop_opt() -> Option<T>` and `.shift_opt() -> Option<T>` to allow retrieval of front/back of a vec in one operation without fail. .pop() and .shift() are changed to reuse the former two methods.
Follows the naming of the previous method .head_opt()
Change the signature of Iterator.size_hint() to always have a lower bound.
Implement .size_hint() on all remaining iterators (if it differs from the default).

They simply byte-swap an integer to a specific endian, like the hton* functions in C.
These intrinsics are synthesized, so maybe they should be in another file. But since they are just a single line of code each, based on the bswap intrinsics and aren't really intended for public consumption I thought they would fit in the intrinsics file.
The next step working on this could be to expose a trait / generic function for byteswapping.
Since ' ' is by far one of the most common characters, it is worthwhile
to put it first, and short-circuit the rest of the function.

Add a function to safely retrieve the first element of a ~[T], as
Option<T>. Implement shift() using shift_opt().
Add tests for both .shift() and .shift_opt()
Add a function to safely retrieve the last element of a ~[T], as
Option<T>. Implement pop() using pop_opt(); it benches the same as the
old implementation when tested with optimization level 2.
Adds a lint for `static some_lowercase_name: uint = 1;`. Warning by default since it causes confusion, e.g. `static a: uint = 1; ... let a = 2;` => `error: only refutable patterns allowed here`.
I think it's WIP - but I wanted to ask for feedback (/cc @thestinger)
I had to move the impl of FromIter for vec into extra::iter because I don't think std can depend on extra, but that's a bit messed up. Similarly some FromIter uses are gone now, not sure if this is fixable or if I made a complete mess here..
