This reverts commit d9d840a33ac8abb0e616de862f592821a7f4a35e, reversing
changes made to a04d4330945565b8d6f298ace993f6954c42d0f3.
This is not an adequate implementation of the missing safety check, as
evidenced by the changes to std.json that are reverted in this commit.
Reopens#18382Closes#18510
In general, I don't like the idea of std.meta.trait, and so I am
providing some guidance by deleting the entire namespace from the
standard library and compiler codebase.
My main criticism is that it's overcomplicated machinery that bloats
compile times and is ultimately unnecessary given the existence of Zig's
strong type system and reference traces.
Users who want this can create a third party package that provides this
functionality.
closes#18051
Most of this migration was performed automatically with `zig fmt`. There
were a few exceptions which I had to manually fix:
* `@alignCast` and `@addrSpaceCast` cannot be automatically rewritten
* `@truncate`'s fixup is incorrect for vectors
* Test cases are not formatted, and their error locations change
