------------------------

At present, literals are only accepted as the value of a key-value pair in
attributes. What's more, only _string_ literals are accepted. This means that
literals can only appear in forms of `#[attr(name = "value")]` or
`#[attr = "value"]`.

The `attr_literals` unstable feature allows other types of literals to be used
in attributes. Here are some examples of attributes that can now be used with
this feature enabled:

+```rust,ignore
+#[attr]
+#[attr(true)]
+#[attr(ident)]
+#[attr(ident, 100, true, "true", ident = 100, ident = "hello", ident(100))]
+#[attr(100)]
+#[attr(enabled = true)]
+#[enabled(true)]
+#[attr("hello")]
+#[repr(C, align = 4)]
+#[repr(C, align(4))]
+```

The `catch_expr` feature adds support for a `catch` expression. The `catch`
expression creates a new scope one can use the `?` operator in.

```rust
#![feature(catch_expr)]

use std::num::ParseIntError;

let result: Result<i32, ParseIntError> = do catch {
Ok("1".parse::<i32>()?
+ "2".parse::<i32>()?
+ "3".parse::<i32>()?)
};
assert_eq!(result, Ok(6));

let result: Result<i32, ParseIntError> = do catch {
Ok("1".parse::<i32>()?
+ "foo".parse::<i32>()?
+ "3".parse::<i32>()?)
};
assert!(result.is_err());

------------------------

The `on_unimplemented` feature provides the `#[rustc_on_unimplemented]`
attribute, which allows trait definitions to add specialized notes to error
messages when an implementation was expected but not found.

For example:

```rust,compile_fail
#![feature(on_unimplemented)]
#[rustc_on_unimplemented="a collection of type `{Self}` cannot be built from an \
iterator over elements of type `{A}`"]
trait MyIterator<A> {
fn next(&mut self) -> A;
}
fn iterate_chars<I: MyIterator<char>>(i: I) {
// ...
}
fn main() {
iterate_chars(&[1, 2, 3][..]);
}
```

When the user compiles this, they will see the following;

```txt
error[E0277]: the trait bound `&[{integer}]: MyIterator<char>` is not satisfied
--> <anon>:14:5
|
14 | iterate_chars(&[1, 2, 3][..]);
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the trait `MyIterator<char>` is not implemented for `&[{integer}]`
|
= note: a collection of type `&[{integer}]` cannot be built from an iterator over elements of type `char`
= note: required by `iterate_chars`
error: aborting due to previous error
```
