It would be useful to have `VectorOperations` implemented for `&[f64]` etc.

Serialize/Deserialize implementations are very slow to compile

15

I’m currently trying out the [`pandoc_ast`](https://github.com/oli-obk/pandoc-ast) crate, which contains [a handful of recursive algebraic data types](https://github.com/oli-obk/pandoc-ast/blob/92060b1d3503557376313074cf7bd3033eda8634/src/lib.rs) with the `Serialize` and `Deserialize` traits derived. When I tried the minimal example below...

Core::spawn should expect Error=Void not Error=()

5

Since `spawn` never looks at the results of the future, the return value ought to be completely devoid of any useful information to reduce the risk that the user might...

Disambiguation of names

7

There is a tendency in Haskell to use the same name for different things, e.g. `ByteString` for both the lazy and strict versions. Haddock doesn't cope with these very well,...

This is a bit of a convenience issue: there is currently no documentation available on the [Hackage website](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/haskell-mpi) for any of the versions. Would it be possible to upload the...

Support use Trait::method and/or Type::method?

4

Currently Rust doesn’t support any of the following: ```rust // Example A use Default::default; use f64::sin; ``` This means one can never write `default()` or `sin(3.14)` without qualification as individual...

normalise should not alter paths that start with \\?\

5

From https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247.aspx#maxpath : > They indicate that the path should be passed to the system with minimal modification, which means that you cannot use forward slashes to represent path separators,...

normalise should eliminate parent directories on Windows

5

Windows seems to interpret paths differently than on POSIX systems. - On POSIX, `/sym/link/../foo` refers to `/target/dir/../foo ≡ /target/foo` (`..` expands after dereferencing). - On Windows, `C:\sym\link\..\foo` always refers to...

Bypass/change Markdown parser

5

It would be nice if there was a way to disable or swap out the Markdown parser for an some alternative Markdown parser (e.g. Pandoc) or a different markup format...

The ranges of float-to-integer conversions appear to be inconsistent with all approximation schemes except `RoundToNegInf`. For example, consider `RoundToZero`, which rounds - `255.5` to `255` - `-255.5` to `-255` Yet,...
