It's not clear to me that this trait serves any purpose. Am I overlooking something?

This is used to write generic code that works with both Vec<T> and SmallVec<T>. It's used in Servo's style crate, for example. Closing because we can't remove this without breaking existing code.

19:07 <ghservo> [rust-smallvec] frewsxcv opened pull request #35: Remove unnecessary `VecLike` trait. (master...rm-veclike) https://git.io/vPOao
19:10 <frewsxcv> Corey Someone want to sanity check (and/or review) that PR? ^
19:11 <•mbrubeck> frewsxcv: VecLike is used in the style crate
19:11 <frewsxcv> Corey Maybe it should live in the style crate?
19:11 Good to know though
19:12 <•mbrubeck> frewsxcv: It lets you write code that's generic over Vec<T> and SmallVec<T>, so it seems generally useful
19:15 <frewsxcv> Corey Fair enough.

I guess it would be fine to move to style.

We may want to revisit this, since the style crate no longer needs this (servo/servo#19424), and code that does use it could be converted to use standard traits like Extend instead.

Remove unused generic from push_applicable_declarations

This function is only ever used with one type.

This gets rid of the only use of the `smallvec::VecLike` trait, which we may want to deprecate (servo/rust-smallvec#35).  If we do need to make this function generic in the future, we can do it using standard traits instead.

Deprecate the VecLike trait

This is an update of PR #35.

This trait is redundant with existing traits like `Extend` and `Deref`.  Its purpose is unclear (you can do a few things with it, but not much) and the one use case I know of has been removed (servo/servo#19424).
