This updates the standard library's documentation to use the new syntax. The
documentation is worthwhile to update as it should be more idiomatic
(particularly for features like this, which are nice for users to get acquainted
with). The general codebase is likely more hassle than benefit to update: it'll
hurt git blame, and generally updates can be done by folks updating the code if
(and when) that makes things more readable with the new format.
A few places in the compiler and library code are updated (mostly just due to
already having been done when this commit was first authored).
Allow reverse iteration of lowercase'd/uppercase'd chars
The PR implements `DoubleEndedIterator` trait for `ToLowercase` and `ToUppercase`.
This enables reverse iteration of lowercase/uppercase variants of character sequences.
One of use cases: determining whether a char sequence is a suffix of another one.
Example:
```rust
fn endswith_ignore_case(s1: &str, s2: &str) -> bool {
for eob in s1
.chars()
.flat_map(|c| c.to_lowercase())
.rev()
.zip_longest(s2.chars().flat_map(|c| c.to_lowercase()).rev())
{
match eob {
EitherOrBoth::Both(c1, c2) => {
if c1 != c2 {
return false;
}
}
EitherOrBoth::Left(_) => return true,
EitherOrBoth::Right(_) => return false,
}
}
true
}
```
This commit makes the following functions from `core::str` `const fn`:
- `from_utf8[_mut]` (`feature(const_str_from_utf8)`)
- `from_utf8_unchecked_mut` (`feature(const_str_from_utf8_unchecked_mut)`)
- `Utf8Error::{valid_up_to,error_len}` (`feature(const_str_from_utf8)`)
