libsyntax/ext/deriving/cmp/* was ignored by the build system.
syntax: make #[deriving(TotalOrd)] lazy.

Previously it would call:

  f(sf1.cmp(&of1), f(sf2.cmp(&of2), ...))

(where s/of1 = 'self/other field 1', and f was
std::cmp::lexical_ordering)

This meant that every .cmp subcall got evaluated when calling a derived
TotalOrd.cmp.

This corrects this to use

   let test = sf1.cmp(&of1);
   if test == Equal {
      let test = sf2.cmp(&of2);
      if test == Equal {
        // ...
      } else {
        test
      }
   } else {
     test
   }

This gives a lexical ordering by short-circuiting on the first comparison
that is not Equal.
std: implement Total{Ord,Eq} for pointers.
Added hexadecimal encoding module

FromHex ignores whitespace and parses either upper or lower case hex
digits. ToHex outputs lower case hex digits with no whitespace. Unlike
ToBase64, ToHex doesn't allow you to configure the output format. I
don't feel that it's super useful in this case.
Some minor hex changes
ToBase64 and ToHex perf improvements

The overhead of str::push_char is high enough to cripple the performance
of these two functions. I've switched them to build the output in a
~[u8] and then convert to a string later. Since we know exactly the
bytes going into the vector, we can use the unsafe version to avoid the
is_utf8 check.

I could have riced it further with vec::raw::get, but it only added
~10MB/s so I didn't think it was worth it. ToHex is still ~30% slower
than FromHex, which is puzzling.

Before:

```
test base64::test::from_base64 ... bench: 1000 ns/iter (+/- 349) = 204 MB/s
test base64::test::to_base64 ... bench: 2390 ns/iter (+/- 1130) = 63 MB/s
...
test hex::tests::bench_from_hex ... bench: 884 ns/iter (+/- 220) = 341 MB/s
test hex::tests::bench_to_hex ... bench: 2453 ns/iter (+/- 919) = 61 MB/s
```

After:

```
test base64::test::from_base64 ... bench: 1271 ns/iter (+/- 600) = 160 MB/s
test base64::test::to_base64 ... bench: 759 ns/iter (+/- 286) = 198 MB/s
...
test hex::tests::bench_from_hex ... bench: 875 ns/iter (+/- 377) = 345 MB/s
test hex::tests::bench_to_hex ... bench: 593 ns/iter (+/- 240) = 254 MB/s
```
Removing space for NULL terminator

String NULL terminators are going away soon, so we may as well get rid
of this now so it doesn't rot.
Removed convenience encoding trait impls

Encoding should really only be done from [u8]<->str. The extra
convenience implementations don't really have a place, especially since
they're so trivial.

Also improved error messages in FromBase64.
Result::get -> Result::unwrap
Add to_ascii_upper, to_ascii_lower and eq_ignore_ascii_case in std::ascii
iterator: simplify the `take` implementation
add Extendable to the prelude
iterator: rename `Counter::new` to `count`

to match the convention used by `range`, since `iterator::count` is
already namespaced enough and won't be ambiguous
auto merge of #8231 : SimonSapin/rust/ascii-upper-lower-case, r=cmr

Original pull request: Add str.to_ascii_lower() and str.to_ascii_upper() methods in std::str.
remove `extra::iter`

This module provided adaptors for the old internal iterator protocol,
but they proved to be quite unreadable and are not generic enough to
handle borrowed pointers well.

Since Rust no longer defines an internal iteration protocol, I don't
think there's going to be any reuse via these adaptors.
vec: avoid `ptrtoint`/`inttoptr` in the iterators

This results in throwing away alias analysis information, because LLVM
does *not* implement reasoning about these conversions yet.

We specialize zero-size types since a `getelementptr` offset will
return us the same pointer, making it broken as a simple counter.
add an intrinsic for inbounds GEP
vec: use `offset_inbounds` for iterators

This allows LLVM to optimize vector iterators to an `getelementptr` and
`icmp` pair, instead of `getelementptr` and *two* comparisons.

~~~
fn foo(xs: &mut [f64]) {
    for x in xs.mut_iter() {
        *x += 10.0;
