Could you rebase this, please? I've updated the travis file to actually build the correct rubies, and I'd like to see if it passes. Thanks!

I'd be very interested in hearing about your issues here. Also, have you used the `tokio` branch at all?

Just to chip in briefly here: Rust and Cargo have this distinction; https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html#the-links-manifest-key It works well, but there's one big issue: this means that major version bumps of these kinds...

Oh neat.

This is exactly how I feel about it; It'd be nice, but it's sort of an extra feature. I'd rather see work done elsewhere, though of course, if someone feels...

We have _almost_ this: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fmt/#named-parameters

It's worth mentioning that @nikomatsakis has been working on this proposal: http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2015/08/20/virtual-structs-part-3-bringing-enums-and-structs-together/

I wonder what @carols10cents thinks of this RFC. I have not read it yet, but this feature in general feels like something that we may want to take advantage of...

@camelid unless something has changed (or i am 1000% misremembering), mdbook calls out to rustdoc.

@antonkatz not yet. Lots of work is going into implementing the MIR/HIR RFCs, which enable more typesystem features by making the internal representations easier to operate on.
