No more FnBox

The book used to have this code in Chapter 20, section 2:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
trait FnBox {
    fn call_box(self: Box<Self>);
}

impl<F: FnOnce()> FnBox for F {
    fn call_box(self: Box<F>) {
        (*self)()
    }
}

type Job = Box<dyn FnBox + Send + 'static>;
}

Here, we define a new trait called FnBox, and then implement it for all FnOnce closures. All the implementation does is call the closure. These sorts of hacks were needed because a Box<dyn FnOnce> didn't implement FnOnce. This was true for all three posibilities:

• Box<dyn Fn> and Fn
• Box<dyn FnMut> and FnMut
• Box<dyn FnOnce> and FnOnce

However, as of Rust 1.35, these traits are implemented for these types, and so the FnBox trick is no longer required. In the latest version of the book, the Job type looks like this:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
type Job = Box<dyn FnOnce() + Send + 'static>;
}

No need for all that other code.
