park should have its module documentation inlined here, and cleaned up.
park_timeout could use links to park.

Too many [ here?

ditto. 👍

 ///

+/// In other words, each [`Thread`] acts a bit like a spinlock that can be

So much typos, the shame is strong in me.

+/// # park and unpark
+///
+/// Every thread is equipped with some basic low-level blocking support, via the
+/// [`thread::park`][`park`] function and [`thread::Thread::unpark()`][`unpark`]


I don't know if you are allowed to use the () here 😄

It is used elsewhre and I checked that they worked, so I think I am allowed to do that.
I can be removed if you want to though.

currently, the policy is to remove the () for method/function names in docs (see also #40456), though it's not a huge deal

It shall be done then :p

The link should point to [`park`]

Indeed, missed that one.

this still needs to be fixed

Part of rust-lang#29378 - Moves the module documentation into `park`. - Add the same example as the one from `unpark` to `park`.

As per the failures on Travis (scroll near the bottom), you'll need to import Duration into scope here

(this has been addressed)

gamazeps · 2017-05-07T19:48:22Z

All comments are addressed (sory for the delay I'm following the French election at the same time :p)

Looks like one travis job failed due to network failure on checking out the PR, logged here #40474 (comment) and restarted the travis build.

[Doc] improve `thread::Thread` and `thread::Builder` documentations Part of #29378 - Adds information about the stack_size when using `Builder`. This might be considered too low level, but I assume that if someone wants to create their own builder instead of using `thread::spawn` they may be interested in that info. - Updates the `thread::Thread` structure doc, mostly by explaining how to get one, the previous example was removed because it was not related to `thread::Thread`, but rather to `thread::Builder::name`. Not much is present there, mostly because this API is not often used (the only method that seems useful is `unpark`, which is documented in #41809).
