* Update argument spec parse logic of parse-args function.
* Update test case of parse-args function.
* Update document of parse-args function.
* Describe the change in NEWS file.
Compiler and command-line error messages now reflect their Python counterparts.
E.g. where Python emits a `SyntaxError`, so does Hy; same for `TypeError`s.
Multiple tests have been added that check the format and type of raised
exceptions over varying command-line invocations (e.g. interactive and not).
A new exception type for `require` errors was added so that they can be treated
like normal run-time errors and not compiler errors.
The Hy REPL has been further refactored to better match the class-structured
API. Now, different error types are handled separately and leverage more base
class-provided functionality.
Closeshylang/hy#1486.
The implementation of `hy.core.language.exec` draws code from the `exec_` function in commit f574c7be6ebc80041ef58ca29588f310248ebed4 of the library Six, which is copyright 2010–2017 Benjamin Peterson and licensed under the Expat license.
* Add comp, constantly and complement
relates #1176
* Fix composition order in comp
* comp without parameters returns identity
* Doc edits for comp, complement, constantly
* Test that `(comp)` returns `identity` exactly
* Simplify the `reduce` call in `comp`
* updated version of comp
Per the straw poll in #908, as an alternative to #1147.
Now you must use `True`, `False`, and `None`, as in Python. Or just assign `true` to `True`, etc.; the old synonyms aren't reserved words anymore.
This allows them to be used with numeric types that aren't built in, such as NumPy arrays. Because Python uses duck typing, there's generally no way to know in advance whether a given value will accept a given operator. Of course, things like `(inc "hello")` will still raise a `TypeError`, because so does `(+ "hello" 1)`.
This changes let to use a flat list of symbol-value pairs instead of a
vector of vectors. One side effect is that (let [[a 1] z]) is not
expressible now, and one will explicitly need to set a nil value for z,
such as: (let [a 1 z nil]).
Closes#713.

Our MetaImporter was being inserted at the end of sys.meta_path.
For Python prior to 3.3, this was fine since sys.meta_path
was empty by default. As of the completion of PEP 302 in Py3.3 and
later, there are several importers registered by default. One of
these was trying (and failing) to import simple Hy modules,
resulting in a failure to import anything inside __init__.hy.
This change simply inserts the Hy-specific importer at the front
of the list.
This was noted in issue #620 (great catch @algernon)
