//! # Feature gates
//!
//! This crate declares the set of past and present unstable features in the compiler.
//! Feature gate checking itself is done in `rustc_ast_passes/src/feature_gate.rs`
//! at the moment.
//!
//! Features are enabled in programs via the crate-level attributes of
//! `#![feature(...)]` with a comma-separated list of features.
//!
//! For the purpose of future feature-tracking, once a feature gate is added,
//! even if it is stabilized or removed, *do not remove it*. Instead, move the
//! symbol to the `accepted` or `removed` modules respectively.
