This commit contains a new
Receiver
trait, which is the basis for the Arbitrary Self Types v2 RFC. This allows smart pointers to be method receivers even if they're not Deref.This is currently unused by the compiler - a subsequent PR will start to use this for method resolution if the
arbitrary_self_types
feature gate is enabled. This is being landed first simply to make review simpler: if people feel this should all be in an atomic PR let me know.This is a part of the arbitrary self types v2 project, rust-lang/rfcs#3519
