Fixes #6578 by merging the 3 different ways to build an AST into a single
AstBuilder
trait, creating a more uniform and briefer interface.Also, converts the
ext_ctxt
trait-object to be a plain struct, as well as renaming it toExtCtxt
.Seems to make expansion slightly faster for the normal case (e.g.
libcore
andlibstd
), but slower forlibrustc
(slightly) andlibsyntax
