replace old_iter::repeat with the Times trait
Use assert_eq! rather than assert! where possible
auto merge of #6601 : cmr/rust/assert_eq, r=Aatch
auto merge of #6106 : thestinger/rust/iter, r=bstrie

I don't have a strong opinion on the function vs. method, but there's no point in having both. I'd like to make a `repeat` adaptor like Python/Haskell for turning a value into an infinite stream of the value, so this has to at least be renamed.
Add additional documentation in core::io.

Added docs for stdout, stderr, print, and println.
Add docs for stdin in core::io.
Added note about prelude inclusion.
Elaborate a bit in the Reader docs regarding stream position.

Had a conversation with @cmr in IRC about some places that these
docs were confusing. The functions that advance the stream now say so.

In addition, I think that calling out the similarities to familliar C
functions should help people coming from other languages.

Fix trailing whitespace
Reexport static trait methods on traits in the same module.
Remove unused variable.
Explain an odd conditional check.
auto merge of #6432 : thomaslee/rust/issue-4202-02, r=catamorphism

My earlier fix for #4202 would not work correctly if the trait being exported was a top-level item relative to the module from which it was being exported. An example that would not work correctly with the original patch:

    // foo.rs

    pub use Foo = self::Bar;

    pub trait Bar {
      pub fn bar() -> Self;
    }

    impl Bar for int {
      pub fn bar() -> int { 42 }
    }

    // bar.rs

    fn main() {
      foo::Foo::bar()
    }

This is now supported.

I believe this change will allow the GenericPath trait to be exported from core::path as Path in such a manner, which should allow #5389 to move forward.
auto merge of #6619 : steveklabnik/rust/stdout_docs, r=thestinger

Added docs for stdout, stderr, print, and println.
Add a better introduction for the io module.

Let's actually give a top-level description of what's in here, eh?
Implement unimplemented const binops
Fix LLVMConst{I,F}Cmp
Test fixes, use LLVMConstFCmp in ConstFCmp
Fix wording per feedback

Thanks @catamorphism!
