Pursuant to issue #25663, this commit adds the max and min functions to the Ord trait, enabling items that implement Ord to use UFCS (ex. 1.max(2)) instead of the longer std::cmp::max(1,2) format.
Add an in-place rotate method for slices to libcore
A helpful primitive for moving chunks of data around inside a slice.
For example, if you have a range selected and are drag-and-dropping it somewhere else (Example from [Sean Parent's talk](https://youtu.be/qH6sSOr-yk8?t=560)).
(If this should be an RFC instead of a PR, please let me know.)
Edit: changed example
Override size_hint and propagate ExactSizeIterator for iter::StepBy
Generally useful, but also a prerequisite for moving a bunch of unit tests off `Range*::step_by`.
A small non-breaking subset of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/42110 (which I closed).
Includes two small documentation changes @ivandardi requested on that PR.
r? @alexcrichton
A helpful primitive for moving chunks of data around inside a slice.
In particular, adding elements to the end of a Vec then moving them
somewhere else, as a way to do efficient multiple-insert. (There's
drain for efficient block-remove, but no easy way to block-insert.)
Talk with another example: <https://youtu.be/qH6sSOr-yk8?t=560>
Not being an enum improves ergonomics, especially since NonEmpty could be Empty. It can still be iterable without an extra "done" bit by making the range have !(start <= end), which is even possible without changing the Step trait.
Implements RFC 1980
