Description

The maybe-dangling crate became unnecessary because std implemented a proper MaybeDangling, and used it in ManuallyDrop.

I believe std copied crossbeam-channel into the std mpsc implementation, making the performance of the two the same. Not sure.

proc-macro-hack is superseded by builtin features.
