1. Use next_back for last.
2. Use slices for computing nth. It might be possible to use the same
code for both the mut/const case but I don't know how that will play
with compiler optimizations.
This is an implementation of [RFC 1030][rfc] which adds these traits to the
prelude and additionally removes all inherent `into_iter` methods on collections
in favor of the trait implementation (which is now accessible by default).
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1030
This is technically a breaking change due to the prelude additions and removal
of inherent methods, but it is expected that essentially no code breaks in
practice.

Closes#24538
The documentation doesn't appear to describe the `&foo[..]` syntax.
I tried looking in `primitive-types.html#slices` and `std/primitive.slice.html`.
There's an example of partially slicing an array in trpl and a mention of `&foo[..]` in [the standard library documentation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.slice.html), but neither place, from what I can see, actually describes the behavior of `&foo[..]`.
+r? @steveklabnik
as accepted in [RFC 526](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0526-fmt-text-writer.md).
Note that this brand new method is marked as **stable**. I judged this safe enough: it’s simple enough that it’s very unlikely to change. Still, I can mark it unstable instead if you prefer.

For now, words() is left in (but deprecated), and Words is a type alias for
struct SplitWhitespace.
Also cleaned up references to str.words() throughout codebase.
Closes#15628
This removes the usage of `#[feature(into_cow, slice_patterns, box_syntax, box_patterns, quote, unsafe_destructor)]` from being used in libsyntax. My main desire for this is that it brings me one step closer to letting [syntex](https://github.com/erickt/rust-syntex) compile with stable rust. Hopefully this doesn't inconvenience rust development.
When linking an archive statically to an rlib, the compiler will extract all
contents of the archive and add them all to the rlib being generated. The
current method of extraction is to run `ar x`, dumping all files into a
temporary directory. Object archives, however, are allowed to have multiple
entries with the same file name, so there is no method for them to extract their
contents into a directory in a lossless fashion.
This commit adds iterator support to the `ArchiveRO` structure which hooks into
LLVM's support for reading object archives. This iterator is then used to
inspect each object in turn and extract it to a unique location for later
assembly.
Implement [RFC #1048][rfc].
On Windows, when you create a symbolic link you must specify whether it
points to a directory or a file, even if it is created dangling, while
on Unix, the same symbolic link could point to a directory, a file, or
nothing at all. Furthermore, on Windows special privilege is necessary
to use a symbolic link, while on Unix, you can generally create a
symbolic link in any directory you have write privileges to.
This means that it is unlikely to be able to use symbolic links purely
portably; anyone who uses them will need to think about the cross
platform implications. This means that using platform-specific APIs
will make it easier to see where code will need to differ between the
platforms, rather than trying to provide some kind of compatibility
wrapper.
Furthermore, `soft_link` has no precedence in any other API, so to avoid
confusion, move back to the more standard `symlink` terminology.
Create a `std::os::unix::symlink` for the Unix version that is
destination type agnostic, as well as `std::os::windows::{symlink_file,
symlink_dir}` for Windows.
Because this is a stable API, leave a compatibility wrapper in
`std::fs::soft_link`, which calls `symlink` on Unix and `symlink_file`
on Windows, preserving the existing behavior of `soft_link`.

Check for duplicate loop labels in function bodies.
See also: http://internals.rust-lang.org/t/psa-rejecting-duplicate-loop-labels/1833
The change, which we are putting in as future-proofing in preparation for future potential additions to the language (namely labeling arbitrary blocks and using those labels in borrow expressions), means that code like this will start emitting warnings:
```rust
fn main() {
{ 'a: loop { break; } }
{ 'a: loop { break; } }
}
```
To make the above code compile without warnings, write this instead:
```rust
fn main() {
{ 'a: loop { break; } }
{ 'b: loop { break; } }
}
```
Since this change is only introducing a new warnings, this change is non-breaking.

Closes#15628
This commit removes all the old casting/generic traits from `std::num` that are
no longer in use by the standard library. This additionally removes the old
`strconv` module which has not seen much use in quite a long time. All generic
functionality has been supplanted with traits in the `num` crate and the
`strconv` module is supplanted with the [rust-strconv crate][rust-strconv].
[rust-strconv]: https://github.com/lifthrasiir/rust-strconv
This is a breaking change due to the removal of these deprecated crates, and the
alternative crates are listed above.
