    /// The boolean type.
    ///
    /// The `bool` represents a value, which could only be either `true` or `false`.
    ///
    /// # Basic usage
    ///
    /// `bool` implements various traits, such as [`BitAnd`], [`BitOr`], [`Not`], etc.,
    /// which allow us to perform boolean operations using `&`, `|` and `!`.
    ///
    /// [`if`] always demands a `bool` value. [`assert!`], being an important macro in testing,
    /// checks whether an expression returns `true`.
    ///
    /// ```
    /// let bool_val = true & false | false;
    /// assert!(!bool_val);
    /// ```
    ///
    /// [`assert!`]: macro.assert.html
    /// [`if`]: ../book/if.html
    /// [`BitAnd`]: ops/trait.BitAnd.html
    /// [`BitOr`]: ops/trait.BitOr.html
    /// [`Not`]: ops/trait.Not.html
    ///
    /// # Examples
    ///
    /// A trivial example of the usage of `bool`,
    ///
    /// ```
    /// let praise_the_borrow_checker = true;
    ///
    /// // using the `if` conditional
    /// if praise_the_borrow_checker {
    ///     println!("oh, yeah!");
    /// } else {
    ///     println!("what?!!");
    /// }
    ///
    /// // ... or, a match pattern
    /// match praise_the_borrow_checker {
    ///     true => println!("keep praising!"),
    ///     false => println!("you should praise!"),
    /// }
    /// ```
    ///
    /// Also, since `bool` implements the [`Copy`](marker/trait.Copy.html) trait, we don't
    /// have to worry about the move semantics (just like the integer and float primitives).
    mod prim_bool { }

    #[doc(primitive = "char")]
    //
    /// A character type.
    ///
    /// The `char` type represents a single character. More specifically, since
    /// 'character' isn't a well-defined concept in Unicode, `char` is a '[Unicode
    /// scalar value]', which is similar to, but not the same as, a '[Unicode code
    /// point]'.
    ///
    /// [Unicode scalar value]: http://www.unicode.org/glossary/#unicode_scalar_value
    /// [Unicode code point]: http://www.unicode.org/glossary/#code_point
    ///
    /// This documentation describes a number of methods and trait implementations on the
    /// `char` type. For technical reasons, there is additional, separate
    /// documentation in [the `std::char` module](char/index.html) as well.
    ///
    /// # Representation
    ///
    /// `char` is always four bytes in size. This is a different representation than
    /// a given character would have as part of a [`String`]. For example:
    ///
    /// ```
    /// let v = vec!['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'];
    ///
    /// // five elements times four bytes for each element
    /// assert_eq!(20, v.len() * std::mem::size_of::<char>());
    ///
    /// let s = String::from("hello");
    ///
    /// // five elements times one byte per element
    /// assert_eq!(5, s.len() * std::mem::size_of::<u8>());
    /// ```
    ///
    /// [`String`]: string/struct.String.html
    ///
    /// As always, remember that a human intuition for 'character' may not map to
    /// Unicode's definitions. For example, emoji symbols such as '❤️' can be more
    /// than one Unicode code point; this ❤️ in particular is two:
    ///
    /// ```
    /// let s = String::from("❤️");
    ///
    /// // we get two chars out of a single ❤️
    /// let mut iter = s.chars();
    /// assert_eq!(Some('\u{2764}'), iter.next());
    /// assert_eq!(Some('\u{fe0f}'), iter.next());
    /// assert_eq!(None, iter.next());
    /// ```
    ///
    /// This means it won't fit into a `char`. Trying to create a literal with
    /// `let heart = '❤️';` gives an error:
    ///
    /// ```text
    /// error: character literal may only contain one codepoint: '❤
    /// let heart = '❤️';
    ///             ^~
    /// ```
    ///
    /// Another implication of the 4-byte fixed size of a `char` is that
    /// per-`char` processing can end up using a lot more memory:
    ///
    /// ```
    /// let s = String::from("love: ❤️");
    /// let v: Vec<char> = s.chars().collect();
    ///
    /// assert_eq!(12, s.len() * std::mem::size_of::<u8>());
    /// assert_eq!(32, v.len() * std::mem::size_of::<char>());
    /// ```
    mod prim_char { }

    #[doc(primitive = "unit")]
    //
    /// The `()` type, sometimes called "unit" or "nil".
    ///
    /// The `()` type has exactly one value `()`, and is used when there
    /// is no other meaningful value that could be returned. `()` is most
    /// commonly seen implicitly: functions without a `-> ...` implicitly
    /// have return type `()`, that is, these are equivalent:
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// fn long() -> () {}
    ///
    /// fn short() {}
    /// ```
    ///
    /// The semicolon `;` can be used to discard the result of an
    /// expression at the end of a block, making the expression (and thus
    /// the block) evaluate to `()`. For example,
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// fn returns_i64() -> i64 {
    ///     1i64
    /// }
    /// fn returns_unit() {
    ///     1i64;
    /// }
    ///
    /// let is_i64 = {
    ///     returns_i64()
    /// };

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
