Currently it uses a mixture of functional style (`flat_map`) and imperative style (`push`), which is a bit hard to read. This commit converts it to fully imperative, which is more concise and avoids the need for `smallvec`.

For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc dev guide:
