I tried AI to get the list, and it looks incomplete:

Frequently used Rust standard library (std) functions and methods include essential collection, option, and result handlers: vec![], println!(), clone(), unwrap(), iter(), map(), collect(), find(), format!(), and drop(). These core functions allow for efficient data manipulation, error handling, and memory management.

Frequently Used std Functions & Macros

• Console I/O & Macros: println!(), format!(), panic!().
• Memory Management: drop() (manually drop a value), mem::swap, mem::replace.
• Iterator/Collection Methods (Vec, HashMap, Iter):
  • iter() / iter_mut(): Create iterators.
  • map() / filter_map(): Transform elements.
  • find() / any() / all(): Query collections.
  • collect(): Transform an iterator into a collection.
  • push() / pop(): Modify Vectors.
  • insert() / get() / entry(): Modify/access HashMaps.
• Option & Result Handling:
  • unwrap() / expect(): Extract values, panicking on failure.
  • is_some() / is_none() / is_ok() / is_err(): Check types.
  • unwrap_or() / unwrap_or_default(): Handle defaults.
• Type Conversion & Traits: clone(), to_string(), as_ref().

These utilities are part of the std prelude and are generally available in all Rust programs.

Does anybody have a comprehensive list of such functions, maybe based on own experience?

I need to integrate the list with IDE.
