The point of these is to be seen lexically in the docs, so they should always be passed as the correct literal, not as an expression.
(Otherwise we could just compute `Min`/`Max` from `BITS`, for example.)
Miri: basic dyn* support
As usual I am very unsure about the dynamic dispatch stuff, but it passes even the `Pin<&mut dyn* Trait>` test so that is something.
TBH I think it was a mistake to make `dyn Trait` and `dyn* Trait` part of the same `TyKind` variant. Almost everywhere in Miri this lead to the wrong default behavior, resulting in strange ICEs instead of nice "unimplemented" messages. The two types describe pretty different runtime data layout after all.
Strangely I did not need to do the equivalent of [this diff](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/106532#discussion_r1087095963) in Miri. Maybe that is because the unsizing logic matches on `ty::Dynamic(.., ty::Dyn)` already? In `unsized_info` I don't think the `target_dyn_kind` can be `DynStar`, since then it wouldn't be unsized!

Remove old FIXME that no longer applies
it looks like Encodable was fallible at some point, but that was changed which means that this FIXME is no longer applicable
Remove old FIXMEs referring to #19596
Having an inner function that accepts a mutable reference seems to be the only way this can be expressed. Taking a mutable reference would call the same function with a new type &mut F which then causes the infinite recursion error in #19596.
Refine error span for trait error into borrowed expression
Extends the error span refinement in #106477 to drill into borrowed expressions just like tuples/struct/enum literals. For example,
```rs
trait Fancy {}
trait Good {}
impl <'a, T> Fancy for &'a T where T: Good {}
impl <S> Good for Option<S> where S: Iterator {}
fn want_fancy<F>(f: F) where F: Fancy {}
fn example() {
want_fancy(&Some(5));
// (BEFORE) ^^^^^^^^ `{integer}` is not an iterator
// (AFTER) ^ `{integer}` is not an iterator
}
```
Existing heuristics try to find the right part of the expression to "point at"; current heuristics look at e.g. struct constructors and tuples. This PR adds a new check for borrowed expressions when looking into a borrowed type.
Use restricted Damerau-Levenshtein distance for diagnostics
This replaces the existing Levenshtein algorithm with the Damerau-Levenshtein algorithm. This means that "ab" to "ba" is one change (a transposition) instead of two (a deletion and insertion). More specifically, this is a _restricted_ implementation, in that "ca" to "abc" cannot be performed as "ca" → "ac" → "abc", as there is an insertion in the middle of a transposition. I believe that errors like that are sufficiently rare that it's not worth taking into account.
This was first brought up [on IRLO](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/18227) when it was noticed that the diagnostic for `prinltn!` (transposed L and T) was `print!` and not `println!`. Only a single existing UI test was effected, with the result being an objective improvement.
~~I have left the method name and various other references to the Levenshtein algorithm untouched, as the exact manner in which the edit distance is calculated should not be relevant to the caller.~~

Document that CStr::as_ptr returns a type alias
Rustdoc resolves type aliases too eagerly #15823 which makes the [std re-export](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ffi/struct.CStr.html#method.as_ptr) of `CStr::as_ptr` show `i8` instead of `c_char`. To work around this I've added info about `c_char` in the method's description.
BTW, I've also added a comment to what-not-to-do example in case someone copypasted it without reading the surrounding text.
