Remove `feature(string_deref_patterns)` The older `string_deref_patterns` feature has been superseded by the newer and more general `deref_patterns` feature. Removing string-deref-patterns allows us to get rid of a few tricky special cases in match lowering, which are different from the special cases used by deref-patterns. The handful of existing tests for `string_deref_patterns` have been migrated to use `deref_patterns` instead. Current nightly users of the older feature should hopefully be able to migrate to the newer feature without too much trouble. Note that `deref_patterns` is currently marked as an “incomplete” feature, because it doesn't have an accepted RFC. But `string_deref_patterns` doesn't appear to have ever had an accepted RFC either, so arguably it should have been marked incomplete too. --- - Tracking issue for both features: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87121 - Original implementation: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98914 - [Zulip thread: Can we remove `#![feature(string_deref_patterns)]`?](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/131828-t-compiler/topic/Can.20we.20remove.20.60.23!.5Bfeature.28string_deref_patterns.29.5D.60.3F/with/565787352)
