//! Failure support for libcore
//!
//! The core library cannot define failure, but it does *declare* failure. This
//! means that the functions inside of libcore are allowed to fail, but to be
//! useful an upstream crate must define failure for libcore to use. The current
//! interface for failure is:
//!
//! ```ignore
//! fn fail_impl(fmt: &fmt::Arguments, &(&'static str, uint)) -> !;
//! ```
//!
//! This definition allows for failing with any general message, but it does not
//! allow for failing with a `~Any` value. The reason for this is that libcore
//! is not allowed to allocate.
//!
//! This module contains a few other failure functions, but these are just the
//! necessary lang items for the compiler. All failure is funneled through this
//! one function. Currently, the actual symbol is declared in the standard
//! library, but the location of this may change over time.
