It has outgrown its original purpose and is becoming the general error reporting mechanism.

Is this still a relevant issue? It doesn't seem to me like it's a general error reporting mechanism any more. I think of span_err/span_note/span_warn more along those lines. The lint module in my opinion does indeed have true "lint" passes for code like unused variables, mutability, imports, and assignments.

I'd personally be in favor of keeping it named lint, but I could also do the renaming if there's a better name!

It isn't error reporting, it's specifically warnings, that aren't about invalid code. Closing, as it no longer seems relevant.

env: split up Windows and Unix environment variable handling

On Windows, manage them entirely outside the AM state; this also means we no longer report any data races for environment variable memory.

Fixes rust-lang#124411
