Rust in base

[Vincent DEFERT]

Besides technical and POSIX conformance reasons, one more thing should 
be kept in mind: code is written by human beings and multiplying the 
languages used in a code base hinders their efforts. Also bear in mind 
that those efforts are made on their spare time, one of our scarcest 
resource.
