In bug 1275780, we started collecting the panic string through a hook and storing it in a static. TO do this the data structure was added here:

http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/library/rust/shared/lib.rs#41

This type unnecessarily stores the length of the string twice. Like `&str`, `*const str` is a fat pointer containing both the address of the start of the string, and the length of the string, meaning that the second `usize` should be unnecessary.
