The reason given didn't make any sense when I read it when reading through the docs. I think this is more clear. Please let me know it is also more correct.
This PR completes the removal of the runtime system and green-threaded abstractions as part of implementing [RFC 230](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/230).
Specifically:
* It removes the `Runtime` trait, welding the scheduling infrastructure directly to native threads.
* It removes `libgreen` and `libnative` entirely.
* It rewrites `sync::mutex` as a trivial layer on top of native mutexes. Eventually, the two modules will be merged.
* It hides the vast majority of `std::rt`.
This completes the basic task of removing the runtime system (I/O and scheduling) and components that depend on it.
After this lands, a follow-up PR will pull the `rustrt` crate back into `std`, turn `std::task` into `std::thread` (with API changes to go along with it), and completely cut out the remaining startup/teardown sequence. Other changes, including new [TLS](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/461) and synchronization are in the RFC or pre-RFC phase.

Futureproof Rust for fancier suffixed literals. The Rust compiler tokenises a literal followed immediately (no whitespace) by an identifier as a single token: (for example) the text sequences `"foo"bar`, `1baz` and `1u1024` are now a single token rather than the pairs `"foo"` `bar`, `1` `baz` and `1u` `1024` respectively.
The compiler rejects all such suffixes in the parser, except for the 12 numeric suffixes we have now.
I'm fairly sure this will affect very few programs, since it's not currently legal to have `<literal><identifier>` in a Rust program, except in a macro invocation. Any macro invocation relying on this behaviour can simply separate the two tokens with whitespace: `foo!("bar"baz)` becomes `foo!("bar" baz)`.
This implements [RFC 463](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/0463-future-proof-literal-suffixes.md), and so closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/19088.
As-is, there's no indication that the code examples pop out into a window that runs on `play.rust-lang.org` until you mouse over them. I managed to get to section 4 of the guide before realizing you could do this since it didn't occur to me to mouse over the example text.
cc @rose since we went through the tutorial together and I think it wasn't obvious to her either.
Now that we've done `fail` -> `panic`, I feel bringing back the error handling guide is a good idea. We had one long ago, but it was removed when conditions were removed.
This doesn't cover the new FromError stuff, but I feel like it's already useful in this state, so I'm sending this PR now.
This breaks code that referred to variant names in the same namespace as
their enum. Reexport the variants in the old location or alter code to
refer to the new locations:
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
=>
```
pub use self::Foo::{A, B};
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = A;
}
```
or
```
pub enum Foo {
A,
B
}
fn main() {
let a = Foo::A;
}
```

As a new user, I spent a while confused when flycheck told me the code sample I'd typed in was invalid. I ended up figuring out some of what comes after the code sample more painfully by myself because there was no indication that it was broken in the text beforehand. This one line change makes it clear that the code following it is an experiment that may not work rather than something to assume just works.
This removes some leftover line-numbering cruft from elided error examples and brings some minor clarifications.
I’m not super happy about the ‘we cannot have two mutable pointers that point to the same memory’ wording (to the best of my understanding we can’t even have one mutable and one immutable), but other attempts to word this were derailing the flow a bit too much.
* Moves multi-collection files into their own directory, and splits them into seperate files
* Changes exports so that each collection has its own module
* Adds underscores to public modules and filenames to match standard naming conventions
(that is, treemap::{TreeMap, TreeSet} => tree_map::TreeMap, tree_set::TreeSet)
* Renames PriorityQueue to BinaryHeap
* Renames SmallIntMap to VecMap
* Miscellanious fallout fixes

I think it helps to show that the variables introduced in match blocks are indeed independent from the matched variable `x` (especially when `x` is still reachable inside those blocks and might be useful), so this renames them accordingly. Maybe some linter (or language-level warning?) will eventually warn about shadowing `x` in such cases. ;)
I’m not super happy about the matching-on-range example, as it’s too contrived (`e` and `x` are exactly the same here), but I couldn’t come up with something both simple and non-redundant.
This in-progress PR implements https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/17489.
I made the code changes in this commit, next is to go through alllllllll the documentation and fix various things.
- Rename column headings as appropriate, `# Panics` for panic conditions and `# Errors` for `Result`s.
- clean up usage of words like 'fail' in error messages
Anything else to add to the list, @aturon ? I think I should leave the actual functions with names like `slice_or_fail` alone, since you'll get to those in your conventions work?

This includes updating the language items and marking what needs to
change after a snapshot.
If you do not use the standard library, the language items you need to
implement have changed. For example:
```rust
#[lang = "fail_fmt"] fn fail_fmt() -> ! { loop {} }
```
is now
```rust
#[lang = "panic_fmt"] fn panic_fmt() -> ! { loop {} }
```
Related, lesser-implemented language items `fail` and
`fail_bounds_check` have become `panic` and `panic_bounds_check`, as
well. These are implemented by `libcore`, so it is unlikely (though
possible!) that these two renamings will affect you.

Fix test suite
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/221
The current terminology of "task failure" often causes problems when
writing or speaking about code. You often want to talk about the
possibility of an operation that returns a Result "failing", but cannot
because of the ambiguity with task failure. Instead, you have to speak
of "the failing case" or "when the operation does not succeed" or other
circumlocutions.
Likewise, we use a "Failure" header in rustdoc to describe when
operations may fail the task, but it would often be helpful to separate
out a section describing the "Err-producing" case.
We have been steadily moving away from task failure and toward Result as
an error-handling mechanism, so we should optimize our terminology
accordingly: Result-producing functions should be easy to describe.
To update your code, rename any call to `fail!` to `panic!` instead.
Assuming you have not created your own macro named `panic!`, this
will work on UNIX based systems:
grep -lZR 'fail!' . | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/fail!/panic!/g'
You can of course also do this by hand.
