When teaching the class, I’ve noticed that raw strings and byte
strings tend to cause confusion. The slide is meant to be a friendly
introduction and show how Rust is similar to other languages like C
and C++. Instead, the string types cause a ton of questions which are
unnecessary at this early point.
The information is still there, but now in the form of a speaker note.
* Add some more hints to the bare-metal RTC exercise
I and several others had some difficulties with this part of the problem, especially with regards to knowing where the RTC was wired up and how to fully enable the GIC / interrupts, so add this information to the exercise.
* Remove extra semicolon.

* Add methods to mask and clear interrupts.
* Start on GICv3 driver.
* Enable and use RTC interrupt.
* WFI
* Add newtype for interrupt ID.
* Add extension to use interrupt.
* Add method to send an SGI.
* Silence warnings about unused methods in provided drivers.
* Implement Debug manually for IntId.
It's useful to say what kind of interrupt it is.
* Acknowledge and log interrupt.
We should end it as well, but doing so results in a loop unless we first
clear the match.
* cargo fmt with imports_granularity = "module"
* Use arm-gic crate rather than including driver in the example.
* beginning of an Async section
* address review comments
* Add futures page (#497)
NOTE: `mdbook test` does not allow code samples to reference other crates, so
they must be marked as `compile_fail`; see #175.
* Add Runtimes & Tasks (#522)
These concepts are closely related, and there's not much else to know
about runtimes other than "they exist".
This removes the bit about futures being "inert" because it doesn't
really lead anywhere.
* Async chapter (#524)
* Add async channels chapter
* Async control flow
* Async pitfalls
* Separate in multiple chapters + add daemon section
* Merge reentering threads in blocking-executor
* async_trait
* Async fixes (#546)
* Async: some ideas for simplifying the content (#550)
* Simplify the async-await slide
* Shorten futures and move it up
* Add a page on Tokio
* Modifications to the async section (#556)
* Modifications to the async section
* Remove the "Daemon" slide, as it largely duplicates the "Tasks" slide.
The introduction to the "Control Flow" section mentions tasks as a
kind of control flow.
* Reorganize the structure in SUMMARY.md to correspond to the directory
structure.
* Simplify the "Pin" and "Blocking the Executor" slides with steps in
the speaker notes to demonstrate / fix the issues.
* Rename "join_all" to "Join".
* Simplify some code samples to shorten them, and to print output rather
than asserting.
* Clarify speaker notes and include more "Try.." suggestions.
* Be consistent about where `async` blocks are introduced (in the
"Tasks" slide).
* Explain `join` and `select` in prose.
* Fix formatting of section-header slides.
* Add a note on async trait (#558)

* Add methods to set match register and check whether it matches.
* Add first extension to RTC exercise, using match register.
* No need for constants to be public.
* Update if-let-expressions.md
add a note about let-else expressions. Closes#536
* Remove old mention of let-else
* Indent code block to match the bullet point

* don't explain default trait methods early
* talk about Iterator before IntoIterator
* Defer discussion of trait objects to that chapter
* be more specific about turbofish, in speaker notes
