Utilities for vector manipulation

The `vec` module contains useful code to help work with vector values.
Vectors are Rust's list type. Vectors contain zero or more values of
homogeneous types:

```rust
let int_vector = [1,2,3];
let str_vector = ["one", "two", "three"];
 ```

This is a big module, but for a high-level overview:

## Structs

Several structs that are useful for vectors, such as `Items`, which
represents iteration over a vector.

## Traits

A number of traits add methods that allow you to accomplish tasks with vectors.

Traits defined for the `&[T]` type (a vector slice), have methods that can be
called on either owned vectors, denoted `~[T]`, or on vector slices themselves.
These traits include `ImmutableVector`, and `MutableVector` for the `&mut [T]`
case.

An example is the method `.slice(a, b)` that returns an immutable "view" into
a vector or a vector slice from the index interval `[a, b)`:

```rust
let numbers = [0, 1, 2];
let last_numbers = numbers.slice(1, 3);
// last_numbers is now &[1, 2]
 ```

Traits defined for the `~[T]` type, like `OwnedVector`, can only be called
on such vectors. These methods deal with adding elements or otherwise changing
the allocation of the vector.

An example is the method `.push(element)` that will add an element at the end
of the vector:

```rust
let mut numbers = vec![0, 1, 2];
numbers.push(7);
// numbers is now vec![0, 1, 2, 7];
 ```

## Implementations of other traits

Vectors are a very useful type, and so there's several implementations of
traits from other modules. Some notable examples:

* `Clone`
* `Eq`, `Ord`, `TotalEq`, `TotalOrd` -- vectors can be compared,
  if the element type defines the corresponding trait.

## Iteration

The method `iter()` returns an iteration value for a vector or a vector slice.
The iterator yields references to the vector's elements, so if the element
type of the vector is `int`, the element type of the iterator is `&int`.

```rust
let numbers = [0, 1, 2];
for &x in numbers.iter() {
    println!("{} is a number!", x);
}
 ```

* `.rev_iter()` returns an iterator with the same values as `.iter()`,
  but going in the reverse order, starting with the back element.
* `.mut_iter()` returns an iterator that allows modifying each value.
* `.move_iter()` converts an owned vector into an iterator that
  moves out a value from the vector each iteration.
* Further iterators exist that split, chunk or permute the vector.

## Function definitions

There are a number of free functions that create or take vectors, for example:

* Creating a vector, like `from_elem` and `from_fn`
* Creating a vector with a given size: `with_capacity`
* Modifying a vector and returning it, like `append`
* Operations on paired elements, like `unzip`.
