Description
as a subtask of #17307, once associated constants are implemented, we will want to update libstd
to use them, rather than continuing to use methods to encode such constants.
A quick ack
of the code base via ack --rust 'fn [^\(\)]*\(\) -> Self'
shows the following candidate traits for being modified with associated constants:
core::default::Default
(but this is probably not a great idea; we probably want to continue allowing arbitrary code to be associated with constructing a default value)- various numeric traits (but Gankro points out here that perhaps all of these numeric traits will be scrapped in our stdlib anyway)
core::num::Zero
core::num::One
core::num::Bounded
core::num::Float
core::ptr::RawPtr<T>
