Automatically export methods on core numeric types #2717
Conversation
Each numeric type now contains an extensions module that is automatically exported. At the moment each extensions module contains only the impl for the `num::num` iface. Other impls soon to follow (hopefully).

I don't like this extra 'extensions' module, so I made an additional commit to remove it again, while keeping num exported: https://github.com/brson/rust/tree/tmp Testing this on 'try' now. Looking into #2716. |

@brson The only reason that I opted to stick all the impls in an "extensions" mod was in an effort to not pollute the top-level index for the libcore docs (i.e. there'd just be "sometype::extensions" for each type, rather than "sometype::num, sometype::ord, sometype::eq")... but I'm not certain that I even accomplished that. |

Oh, I remember you telling me that now. I thought it was to work around resolve errors. I don't think that approach will actually work, since core.rs exports extensions::*, effectively pulling all those things into the the top level anyway. |
