auto merge of #6333 : bjz/rust/cond-macro, r=thestinger

Addressing issue #6037, this Scheme-style conditional helps to improve code clarity in instances where the `if`, `else if`, and `else` keywords obscure predicates undesirably.

Here is an example:

~~~rust
let clamped =
    if x > mx { mx }
    else if x < mn { mn }
    else { x };
~~~

Using `cond!`, the above could be written as:

~~~rust
let clamped = cond!(
    (x > mx) { mx }
    (x < mn) { mn }
    _        { x  }
);
~~~

The optional default case is denoted by `_`.

I have altered `std::fun_treemap` to demonstrate it in use. I am definitely interested in using it for some of the numeric functions, but I will have to wait for it to reach `stage0` first.
