Rename HIR UnOp variants
This renames the variants in HIR UnOp from
enum UnOp {
UnDeref,
UnNot,
UnNeg,
}
to
enum UnOp {
Deref,
Not,
Neg,
}
Motivations:
- This is more consistent with the rest of the code base where most enum
variants don't have a prefix.
- These variants are never used without the `UnOp` prefix so the extra
`Un` prefix doesn't help with readability. E.g. we don't have any
`UnDeref`s in the code, we only have `UnOp::UnDeref`.
- MIR `UnOp` type variants don't have a prefix so this is more
consistent with MIR types.
- "un" prefix reads like "inverse" or "reverse", so as a beginner in
rustc code base when I see "UnDeref" what comes to my mind is
something like `&*` instead of just `*`.
