* TODO:
* Ord/Cmp
* Lifetime changes
* Implicit self
* Remove `static` keyword
* Static method syntax
* `as Trait`
* `copy` removed, replaced with `Clone`?
* `std::map` removed, replaced with `core::hashmap`
* More details for "Name resolution continues to be tweaked"?
* Syntax changes
* The self type parameter in traits is now spelled `Self`
* The `self` parameter in trait and impl methods must now be explicitly
named (for example: `fn f(&self) { }`). Implicit self is deprecated.
* Replaced the `Durable` trait with the `'static` lifetime
* The old closure type syntax with the trailing sigil has been
removed in favor of the more consistent leading sigil

* Traits are implemented with `impl Trait for Type`
instead of `impl Type: Trait`
* The `export` keyword has finally been removed
* The `move` keyword has been removed (linear types move by default)
* The `move` keyword has been removed (see "Semantic changes")
* The interior mutability qualifier on vectors, `[mut T]`, has been
removed. Use `&mut [T]`, etc.
* `mut` is no longer valid in `~mut T`. Use inherited mutability
