Grammar changes:
* allow 'for _ in 1..i {}' (fixes#20241)
* allow 'for _ in 1.. {}' as infinite loop
* prevent use of range notation in contexts where only operators of high
precedence are expected (fixes#20811)
Parser code cleanup:
* remove RESTRICTION_NO_DOTS
* make AS_PREC const and follow naming convention
* make min_prec inclusive
Closes#21033. The new strategy for parsing a field pattern is to look 1 token ahead and if it's a colon, parse as "fieldname: pat", otherwise parse the shorthand form "(box) (ref) (mut) fieldname)". The previous strategy was to parse "(ref) (mut) fieldname" then if we encounter a colon, throw an error if either "ref" or "mut" were encountered.
* add `Token::AndAnd` (double borrow)
* add `Token::DotDot` (range notation)
* remove `Token::Pound` and `Token::At`
This fixes a syntax error when parsing `fn f() -> RangeTo<i32> { return ..1; }`.
Also, remove `fn_expr_lookahead`.
It's from the `fn~` days and seems to no longer be necessary.

fmt::Show is for debugging, and can and should be implemented for
all public types. This trait is used with `{:?}` syntax. There still
exists #[derive(Show)].
fmt::String is for types that faithfully be represented as a String.
Because of this, there is no way to derive fmt::String, all
implementations must be purposeful. It is used by the default format
syntax, `{}`.
This will break most instances of `{}`, since that now requires the type
to impl fmt::String. In most cases, replacing `{}` with `{:?}` is the
correct fix. Types that were being printed specifically for users should
receive a fmt::String implementation to fix this.

Fixes#17904. All the cases that I believe we should support are detailed in the test case, let me know if there is there is any more desired behavior. cc @japaric.

This implements RFC 179 by making the pattern `&<pat>` require matching
against a variable of type `&T`, and introducing the pattern `&mut
<pat>` which only works with variables of type `&mut T`.
The pattern `&mut x` currently parses as `&(mut x)` i.e. a pattern match
through a `&T` or a `&mut T` that binds the variable `x` to have type
`T` and to be mutable. This should be rewritten as follows, for example,
for &mut x in slice.iter() {
becomes
for &x in slice.iter() {
let mut x = x;
Due to this, this is a

This removes a large array of deprecated functionality, regardless of how
recently it was deprecated. The purpose of this commit is to clean out the
standard libraries and compiler for the upcoming alpha release.
Some notable compiler changes were to enable warnings for all now-deprecated
command line arguments (previously the deprecated versions were silently
accepted) as well as removing deriving(Zero) entirely (the trait was removed).
The distribution no longer contains the libtime or libregex_macros crates. Both
of these have been deprecated for some time and are available externally.
This modifies `Parser::eat_lt` to always split up `<<`s, instead of doing so only when a lifetime name followed or the `force` parameter (now removed) was `true`. This is because `Foo<<TYPE` is now a valid start to a type, whereas previously only `Foo<<LIFETIME` was valid.
This is a [breaking-change]. Change code that looks like this:
```rust
let x = foo as bar << 13;
```
to use parentheses, like this:
```rust
let x = (foo as bar) << 13;
```
Closes#17362.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 503][rfc] which is a stabilization
story for the prelude. Most of the RFC was directly applied, removing reexports.
Some reexports are kept around, however:
* `range` remains until range syntax has landed to reduce churn.
* `Path` and `GenericPath` remain until path reform lands. This is done to
prevent many imports of `GenericPath` which will soon be removed.
* All `io` traits remain until I/O reform lands so imports can be rewritten all
at once to `std::io::prelude::*`.
This is a breaking change because many prelude reexports have been removed, and
the RFC can be consulted for the exact list of removed reexports, as well as to
find the locations of where to import them.

The `mut` in slices is now redundant. Mutability is 'inferred' from position. This means that if mutability is only obvious from the type, you will need to use explicit calls to the slicing methods.
This breaks code that looks like this:
let x = foo as bar << 13;
Change such code to look like this:
let x = (foo as bar) << 13;

RFC 248? I think you meant RFC 438.
There ain’t an RFC 248, while 438 looks to be what is being referred to:

Chis Morgan has a pretty important documentation fix in #19385 and he hasn't responded in a while to that pull request so I rebased it for him
