Which segmentation functionality exactly? There are several types desirable: - line breaking is covered by the mentioned crate; also by ([code](https://github.com/xi-editor/xi-editor/tree/master/rust/unicode)) - word breaking, useful e.g. to select a whole...

Thanks for all the references @ZackPierce; Aaron's "portability vision" article is why I suggested importing from `std` where possible in #477. The size of #477 could probably be smaller still...

Presumably the only relevant constraint is whether or not you have `alloc`?

> Yep, we could do something like that as well. It would also involve a different signature for render pass functions though (since you'd be lifting the lifetime restriction we...

Yes, looks like it's just missing a trait use. Unfortunately I can't fix this until next Wednesday.

Taking a look... testing without the `std` feature has many failures (`DMatrix` not defined). Testing with it with just `alloc` has many failures (`Vec` not in scope; suggestion to import...

I'm confused on this one — first time I ran with the `std` feature the only error was to do with `rand` (but didn't make much sense unless `rand_distr` was...

I reworked this, revising @newpavlov's contributions (removing some and with cleaner commits). Hopefully it now passes tests and is in shape for merging. This also bumps the `quickcheck` version.

There are still CI failures: 1. The `lapack` sub-crate fails to link (on the master branch it links but has run-time failures, so presumably caused by my changes) 2. The...
