<p dir="auto"><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/2e47xy/duplication_in_the_standard_library/" rel="nofollow">Reddit thread</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Why are data structures generally duplicated in the rust standard library, or at least apparently so in the API documentation?</p>
<p dir="auto">e.g. std::string::String vs. collections::string::String, std:fmt::String vs. core::fmt::String, std::vec::Vec vs. collections::vec::Vec?</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I'm not certain which of these the user was referring to but both could be possibly weird at first appearance:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>Why is <code class="notranslate">String</code> in <code class="notranslate">std::string</code> and <code class="notranslate">collections::string</code> and others</li>
<li>Why is <code class="notranslate">String</code> in <code class="notranslate">string</code> and <code class="notranslate">Vec</code> in <code class="notranslate">vec</code></li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">It was suggested that this be included in a <strong>How to read this documentation</strong> somewhere. If it was written, I would imagine it should be automatically included in the rust std documentation system so that it is included in all rust derived projects like <strong>gfx-rs</strong> and <strong>piston</strong> documentation.</p>
