rustup 1.16.0 (beab5ac2b 2018-12-06)

One of the workarounds that was suggested was to uninstall the entire toolchain (rustup and all), and reinstall it, but alas, that didn't work.

Quick-side note, I can install it for stable.

Yeah we're currently waiting for a updated Clippy in rustc (rust-lang/rust#58807). nightly-2019-02-27 is the latest nightly with Clippy available. See https://mexus.github.io/rustup-components-history/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.html.

Clippy will probably be available in the nightly tomorrow or Monday. We try to get it fixed ASAP.

It's blocked on Manishearth/compiletest-rs#160 and a new release.

Nope, it was available last night though.

Closing, since this is tracked on the components site.
