Good morning,
This first patch series adds support for `#[deriving(Decodable, Encodable)]`, but does not yet remove `#[auto_encode]` and `#[auto_decode]`. I need a snapshot to remove the old code. Along the way it also extends support for tuple structs and struct enum variants.
Also, it includes a minor fix to the pretty printer. We decided a while ago to use 4 spaces to indent a match arm instead of 2. This updates the pretty printer to reflect that.
There's no unifying theme here; I'm just trying to clear a bunch of small commits: removing dead code, adding comments, renaming to an upper-case type, fixing one test case.
Revert map.each to something which takes two parameters rather than a tuple. The current setup iterates over `BaseIter<(&'self K, &'self V)>` where 'self is a lifetime declared *in the `each()` method*. You can't place such a type in the impl declaration. The compiler currently allows it, but this will not be legal under #5656 and I'm pretty sure it's not sound now. It's too bad that maps can't implement `BaseIter` (at least not over a tuple as they do here) but I think it has to be this way for the time being.

#5758 take 2.
This adds a `#[packed]` attribute for structs, like GCC's `__attribute__((packed))`, e.g.
```rust
#[packed]
struct Size5 {
a: u8,
b: u32
}
```
It works on normal and tuple structs, but is (silently) ignored on enums.
Closes#1704.
A struct (inc. tuple struct) can be annotated with #[packed], so that there
is no padding between its elements, like GCC's `__attribute__((packed))`.
Closes#1704
See my [post](https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2013-April/003518.html) on the mailing list for details.
Also:
* 3.2 is newer than 3.2svn, so I changed the ordering. (3.2svn is the version used between 3.2 and 3.3.)
* 3.3svn is added. This is the version you currently get from compiling LLVM trunk.
* 3.3 is added. 3.3 is not released yet, but this is the version used by http://llvm.org/apt/.
This leaves the default lint modes at `warn`, but now the unused variable and dead assignment warnings are configurable on a per-item basis. As described in #3266, this just involved carrying around a couple ids to pass over to `span_lint`. I personally would prefer to keep the `_` prefix as well.
This closes#3266.
Cleanup substitutions and treatment of generics around traits in a number of ways
- In a TraitRef, use the self type consistently to refer to the Self type:
- trait ref in `impl Trait<A,B,C> for S` has a self type of `S`.
- trait ref in `A:Trait` has the self type `A`
- trait ref associated with a trait decl has self type `Self`
- trait ref associated with a supertype has self type `Self`
- trait ref in an object type `@Trait` has no self type
- Rewrite `each_bound_traits_and_supertraits` to perform
substitutions as it goes, and thus yield a series of trait refs
that are always in the same 'namespace' as the type parameter
bound given as input. Before, we left this to the caller, but
this doesn't work because the caller lacks adequare information
to perform the type substitutions correctly.
- For provided methods, substitute the generics involved in the provided
method correctly.
- Introduce TypeParameterDef, which tracks the bounds declared on a type
parameter and brings them together with the def_id and (in the future)
other information (maybe even the parameter's name!).
- Introduce Subst trait, which helps to cleanup a lot of the
repetitive code involved with doing type substitution.
- Introduce Repr trait, which makes debug printouts far more convenient.
Fixes#4183. Needed for #5656.

It was simpler to just give the variants a value instead of listing out all the cases for (*self, *other) in a match statement or writing spaghetti code. This makes the `cmp` method easier to use with FFI too, since you're a cast away from an idiomatic C comparator function. It would be fine implemented another way though.
