# Proposal ## Problem statement `RangeBounds` exists as a useful generic abstraction that lets users write functions that take any range type. However, is not uncommon that users want to...
# Proposal ## Problem statement Sometimes, the program can generate files with its own suffix (extension) to identify specific purpose files. For example, in my tools there is a dry-run...
# Proposal ## Context The `Command` struct allows developers to execute system commands (such as `bundle install` through a Rust interface). It includes modifying (set) and reading (get): env, current...
# Proposal ## Problem statement Annoymous and named pipe are widely used, there is crate [`os_pipe`](https://docs.rs/os_pipe) which just provides an abstraction for pipe on unix and has 15 million download....
# Proposal ## Problem statement When writing heavy bit-manipulating code you sometimes need to combine integers bitwise according to the following truth table: | `a` | `b` | `combine(a, b)`...
# Proposal Add new API: `std::env::user_home_dir` returning `Option`. This is a replacement for the deprecated `std::env::home_dir`, providing a platform agnostic method for identifying the user's home directory checking platform-specific environment...
# Proposal ## Problem statement On Windows, the `Command` program search uses slightly different rules depending on if the environment is inherited or not. To cut a long store short,...
# Proposal ## Problem statement Rust developers, especially those coming from a C++-ish background, often want to write code which is generic over the different primitive numeric types (i.e. `iNN`,...
# Proposal ## Problem statement UTF-16 is a common text encoding in platforms that adopted Unicode before the invention of UTF-8. C compilers for these platforms have special syntax for...
# Proposal ## Problem statement When making FFI calls from Rust on UNIX targets, it's common to need NUL-terminated UTF-8 strings. The same is true of NUL-terminated Widechar strings on...
