0.3 preview renaming

[MajorBreakfast]

• Cargo.toml (7 files)
  • package.name
  • package.documentation
  • dependencies
• lib.rs (7 files)
  • #![doc(html_root_url = "...")]
• Code examples:
  • All use statements should refer to the preview crates

Question: Why do the extern crate statements in the current master branch (0.2) never use as, e.g. extern crate futures-preview as futures;? It seems to work, but I don't quite understand how it finds the crates if their actual name is different.

As @withoutboats recently mentioned on the 2018 stabilisation thread having rust-lang/cargo#5653 would be amazing for this. You could use and recommend futures = { package = "futures-preview", version = "0.3.0-alpha.1" } as the way to depend on the preview. Unfortunately there’s been no confirmation one way or the other whether this cargo feature could be stabilised for the first 2018 release.

Implemented by #1103

Renaming of the use statements was not required
