This is the first part of #144289 being split into smaller pieces. It adds/moves constness of several traits under the const_convert feature:

  • From
  • Into
  • TryFrom
  • TryInto
  • FromStr
  • AsRef
  • AsMut
  • Borrow
  • BorrowMut
  • Deref
  • DerefMut

There are a few methods that are intrinsically tied to these traits which I've included in the feature. Particularly, those which are wrappers over AsRef:

  • ByteStr::new (unstable under bstr feature)
  • OsStr::new
  • Path::new

Those which directly use Into:

  • Result::into_ok
  • Result::into_err

And those which use Deref and DerefMut:

  • Pin::as_ref
  • Pin::as_mut
  • Pin::as_deref_mut

The parts which are missing from this PR are:

  • Anything that involves heap-allocated types
  • Making any method const than the ones listed above
  • Anything that could rely on the above, or could rely on system-specific code for OsStr or Path (note: this mostly makes these methods useless since str doesn't implement AsRef<OsStr> yet, but it's better to track the method for now and add impls later, IMHO)

Was listed under library features, and is actually a language feature. Since the diff doesn't make that clear.

You mentioned not wanting to add any more const-hacks, but I figured this one (+ for u16 below) was okay because we're already going to have to fix a lot of const code once things are stable, and I think that simple char <-> integer conversions are useful enough to get on nightly sooner. Especially since const closures seem pretty far off at the moment.
