In rustc it doesn't really matter what the order of the witnesses is, but I'm planning to use the witnesses for implementing the "add missing match arms" assist in rust-analyzer, and there `true` before `false` is the natural order (like `Some` before `None`), and also what the current assist does.
The current order doesn't seem to be intentional; the code was created when bool ctors became their own thing, not just int ctors, but for integer, 0 before 1 is indeed the natural order.
It's very useful. There are some false positives involving integration
tests in `rustc_pattern_analysis` and `rustc_serialize`. There is also a
false positive involving `rustc_driver_impl`'s
`rustc_randomized_layouts` feature. And I removed a `rustc_span` mention
in a doc comment in `rustc_log` because it wasn't integral to the
comment but caused a dev-dependency.
It's similar to the other limits, e.g. obtained via `get_limit`. So it
makes sense to handle it consistently with the other limits. We now use
`Limit`/`usize` in most places instead of `Option<usize>`, so we use
`Limit::new(usize::MAX)`/`usize::MAX` to emulate how `None` used to work.
The commit also adds `Limit::unlimited`.
Most modules have such a blank line, but some don't. Inserting the blank
line makes it clearer that the `//!` comments are describing the entire
module, rather than the `use` declaration(s) that immediately follows.
