Rationale: for what appear to be historical reasons only, the PatIdent contains
a Path rather than an Ident. This means that there are many places in the code
where an ident is artificially promoted to a path, and---much more problematically---
a bunch of elements from a path are simply thrown away, which seems like an invitation
to some really nasty bugs.
This commit replaces the Path in a PatIdent with a SpannedIdent, which just contains an ident
and a span.
I ended up altering the semantics of Json's PartialOrd implementation.
It used to be the case that Null < Null, but I can't think of any reason
for an ordering other than the default one so I just switched it over to
using the derived implementation.
This also fixes broken `PartialOrd` implementations for `Vec` and
`TreeMap`.
RFC: 0028-partial-cmp
This PR includes two big things and a bunch of little ones.
1) It enables hygiene for variables bound by 'match' expressions.
2) It fixes a bug discovered indirectly (#15221), wherein fold traversal failed to visit nonterminal nodes.
3) It fixes a small bug in the macro tutorial.
It also adds tests for the first two, and makes a bunch of small comment improvements and cleanup.
The f128 type has very little support in the compiler and the feature is
basically unusable today. Supporting half-baked features in the compiler can be
detrimental to the long-term development of the compiler, and hence this feature
is being removed.

Replace its usage with byte string literals, except in `bytes!()` tests.
Also add a new snapshot, to be able to use the new b"foo" syntax.
The src/etc/2014-06-rewrite-bytes-macros.py script automatically
rewrites `bytes!()` invocations into byte string literals.
Pass it filenames as arguments to generate a diff that you can inspect,
or `--apply` followed by filenames to apply the changes in place.
Diffs can be piped into `tip` or `pygmentize -l diff` for coloring.
See #14646 (tracking issue) and rust-lang/rfcs#69.
This does not close the tracking issue, as the `bytes!()` macro still needs to be removed. It will be later, after a snapshot is made with the changes in this PR, so that the new syntax can be used when bootstrapping the compiler.
`#[inline(never)]` is used.
Closes#8958.
This can break some code that relied on the addresses of statics
being distinct; add `#[inline(never)]` to the affected statics.

This removes all remnants of `@` pointers from rustc. Additionally, this removes
the `GC` structure from the prelude as it seems odd exporting an experimental
type in the prelude by default.
Closes#14193
[breaking-change]
the leading quote part of the identifier for the purposes of hygiene.
This adopts @jbclements' solution to #14539.
I'm not sure if this is a breaking change or not.
Closes#12512.

* The select/plural methods from format strings are removed
* The # character no longer needs to be escaped
* The \-based escapes have been removed
* '{{' is now an escape for '{'
* '}}' is now an escape for '}'
Closes#14810

This uncovered some dead code, most notably in middle/liveness.rs, which I think suggests there must be something fishy with that part of the code.
The #[allow(dead_code)] annotations on some of the fields I am not super happy about but as I understand, marker type may disappear at some point.
