Most important: distinguish function decl sugar for omitting `-> ()` from type inference on closures. I also tried to add a couple more examples to further emphasize this distinction. Note that this sugar (of omitting `-> ()`) is actually already briefly mentioned in an earlier section, so it is a little tricky deciding whether to put more material here, or to move it up to the previous section. Other drive-by fixes: * Fix the line length of the code blocks to fit in the width provided in the rendered HTML * Some minor revisions to wording (e.g. try to clarify in some cases where a type mismatch is arising).
This is a preliminary version of the Rust compiler, libraries and tools.
