Nominating: this contains backwards-incompatible changes.

For triage purposes, we probably want to pull out the DST coercions part of this as P-High.

Summary of changes to make from the RFC:

We should double check that these changes actually get us to the right destination as defined by the RFC.

I filed bugs for the larger pieces of work, the rest are pretty minor and can be tracked here. Those marked with an asterisk are backwards incompatible.

Remove the double auto-ref on arrays/strings as receivers
769aa0a 
Part of rust-lang#18469

[breaking-change]

A receiver will only ever get a single auto-reference. Previously arrays and strings would get two, e.g., [T] would be auto-ref'ed to &&[T]. This is usually apparent when a trait is implemented for `&[T]` and has a method takes self by reference. The usual solution is to implement the trait for `[T]` (the DST form).

Triage: ancient RFC tracking bug slipping through the cracks cc @rust-lang/lang what's up?

Discussed at the lang meeting. I will go through the checklist to make sure it is up to date. We think it should remain p-medium since periodic check ins will be worthwhile.

Looking through rust-lang/rfcs#401, #37685, #32702, #34451, and this, it seems that tuple DSTs and their coercion should be allowed but the coercion is not implemented. Am I right?

@nikomatsakis

@qnighy I think that is correct. I'm not sure just how much implementation work would be needed, there may be random bits of the compiler that need to be updated scattered around.

@nikomatsakis Thank you. I'm working on it.

Another question: PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord, Debug, Hash can be generalized to unsized tuples. Are there any RFCs referring to this possibility?

@qnighy not that I'm aware of; I don't think we necessarily need an RFC for such a thing though

Auto merge of #42527 - qnighy:unsized-tuple-coercions, r=arielb1

Unsized tuple coercions

Part of #18469. Fixes #32702.

#37685 and #34451 might also be related.

This PR does the following:

- Introduce explicit `Sized` constraints on tuple initializers, similar to that of record-struct initializers. Not much relevant to the main contribution but I noticed this when making tests for unsized tuple coercions.
- Implement `(.., T): Unsize<(.., U)>` where `T: Unsize<U>`.
- Assume `(.., T)` is MaybeUnsizedUnivariant.
- Modify `src/librustc/ty/util.rs` and `src/librustc_trans/glue.rs` so that tuples and structs are uniformly traversed when translating.

Rollup merge of rust-lang#43011 - qnighy:unsized-tuple-impls, r=aturon
e5288c9 
Implement Eq/Hash/Debug etc. for unsized tuples.

As I mentioned in [the comment in rust-lang#18469](rust-lang#18469 (comment)), the implementations of `PartialEq`, `Eq`, `PartialOrd`, `Ord`, `Debug`, `Hash` can be generalized to unsized tuples.

This is consistent with the `derive` behavior for unsized structs.

```rust
#[derive(Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord, Debug, Default, Hash)]
struct MyTuple<X, Y, Z: ?Sized>(X, Y, Z);

fn f(x: &MyTuple<i32, i32, [i32]>) {
    x == x;
    x < x;
    println!("{:?}", x);
}
```

Questions:

- Need an RFC?
- Need a feature gate? I don't think it does because the unsized tuple coercion rust-lang#42527 is feature-gated.
- I changed `builder.field($name);` into `builder.field(&$name);` in the `Debug` implementation to pass compilation. This won't affect the behavior because `Debug for &'a T` is a mere redirection to `Debug for T`. However, I don't know if it affects code size / performance.

Can I use any workaround until this is resolved? I have a custom type that I want to convert from Foo<[u32; 10]> to Foo<[u32]>. I could write a method which replaces the PhantomData, but I want it to work for all Unsize-able types.

cc @rust-lang/lang Do we want to close this and all the unfinished sub-issues, and require a new RFC for any new features in this area, even if the old RFC covers them?
One thing to note is that we should probably not implement any new coercions until we get a new system built on top of traits and/or chalk, that can handle arbitrary library opt-in.

@Centril I'm just referring to this comment #18469 (comment) and the unchecked checkboxes in it.

Closing this issue -- anything from RFC 401 that isn't already implemented probably requires a fresh RFC by now, or should at least have its own issue.
