It is simply defined as `f64` across every platform right now.
A use case hasn't been presented for a `float` type defined as the
highest precision floating point type implemented in hardware on the
platform. Performance-wise, using the smallest precision correct for the
use case greatly saves on cache space and allows for fitting more
numbers into SSE/AVX registers.
If there was a use case, this could be implemented as simply a type
alias or a struct thanks to `#[cfg(...)]`.

the switch from package `hello` to `pkg_id` is a little jarring; I'd use `<var>` but I don't see how. ALL_CAPS i.e. PKG_ID seems like a reasonable poor-man's `<var>`.

Three things in this commit:
1. Actually build the rustpkg tutorial. I didn't know I needed this when
I first wrote it.
2. Link to it rather than the manual from the
tutorial.
3. Update the headers: most of them were one level too deeply
nested.

Many people will be very confused that their debug! statements aren't working
when they first use rust only to learn that they should have been building with
`--cfg debug` the entire time. This inverts the meaning of the flag to instead
of enabling debug statements, now it disables debug statements.
This way the default behavior is a bit more reasonable, and requires less
end-user configuration. Furthermore, this turns on debug by default when
building the rustc compiler.

`deque` -> `ringbuf`, mention `extra::dlist`.
fix reference to vector method `bsearch`. Also convert all output
in example code to use `print!`/`println!`
This commit adds support for `\0` escapes in character and string literals.
Since `\0` is equivalent to `\x00`, this is a direct translation to the latter
escape sequence. Future builds will be able to compile using `\0` directly.
Also updated the grammar specification and added a test for NUL characters.
This doesn't close any bugs as the goal is to convert the parameter to by-value, but this is a step towards being able to make guarantees about `&T` pointers (where T is Freeze) to LLVM.
First shot at a new tutorial for rustpkg. /cc @catamorphism
Right now, I'm linking to my sample package on GitHub, I'm not sure that everyone would be comfortable with me having that there. Maybe under the mozilla org? I think having one to install and hold up as a default makes sense.
This module was removed a while ago, but the tasks tutorial wasn't
updated, and the old docs page for pipes was never deleted so the link
confusingly still worked!

Remove these in favor of the two traits themselves and the wrapper
function std::from_str::from_str.
Add the function std::num::from_str_radix in the corresponding role for
the FromStrRadix trait.
This is a series of patches to modernize option and result. The highlights are:
* rename `.unwrap_or_default(value)` and etc to `.unwrap_or(value)`
* add `.unwrap_or_default()` that uses the `Default` trait
* add `Default` implementations for vecs, HashMap, Option
* add `Option.and(T) -> Option<T>`, `Option.and_then(&fn() -> Option<T>) -> Option<T>`, `Option.or(T) -> Option<T>`, and `Option.or_else(&fn() -> Option<T>) -> Option<T>`
* add `option::ToOption`, `option::IntoOption`, `option::AsOption`, `result::ToResult`, `result::IntoResult`, `result::AsResult`, `either::ToEither`, and `either::IntoEither`, `either::AsEither`
* renamed `Option::chain*` and `Result::chain*` to `and_then` and `or_else` to avoid the eventual collision with `Iterator.chain`.
* Added a bunch of impls of `Default`
* Added a `#[deriving(Default)]` syntax extension
* Removed impls of `Zero` for `Option<T>` and vecs.
As per rustpkg.md, rustpkg now builds in a target-specific
subdirectory of build/, and installs libraries into a target-specific
subdirectory of lib.
Closes#8672
The old documentation for for loops/expressions has been quite wrong since the change to iterators. This updates the docs to make them relevant to how for loops work now, if not very in-depth. There may be a need for updates giving more depth on how they work, such as detailing what method calls they make, but I don't know enough about the implementation to include that.
The trait will keep the `Iterator` naming, but a more concise module
name makes using the free functions less verbose. The module will define
iterables in addition to iterators, as it deals with iteration in
general.
There are 6 new compiler recognised attributes: deprecated, experimental,
unstable, stable, frozen, locked (these levels are taken directly from
Node's "stability index"[1]). These indicate the stability of the
item to which they are attached; e.g. `#[deprecated] fn foo() { .. }`
says that `foo` is deprecated.
This comes with 3 lints for the first 3 levels (with matching names) that
will detect the use of items marked with them (the `unstable` lint
includes items with no stability attribute). The attributes can be given
a short text note that will be displayed by the lint. An example:
#[warn(unstable)]; // `allow` by default
#[deprecated="use `bar`"]
fn foo() { }
#[stable]
fn bar() { }
fn baz() { }
fn main() {
foo(); // "warning: use of deprecated item: use `bar`"
bar(); // all fine
baz(); // "warning: use of unmarked item"
}
The lints currently only check the "edges" of the AST: i.e. functions,
methods[2], structs and enum variants. Any stability attributes on modules,
enums, traits and impls are not checked.

[2]: the method check is currently incorrect and doesn't work.
Document the fact that the iterator protocol only defines behavior up
until the first None is returned. After this point, iterators are free
to behave how they wish.
Add a new iterator adaptor Fuse<T> that modifies iterators to return
None forever if they returned None once.
