Python 3 supports keyword-only arguments as described in the immortal
PEP 3102. This commit implements keyword-only argument support for Hy
using a `&kwonly` lambda-list-keyword with semantics analogous how
`&optional` arguments are handled: `&kwonly` arguments are either a
symbol, in which case the keyword argument so named is mandatory, or a
two-element list, the first of which is the symbolic name of the keyword
argument and the second of which is its default value if not
supplied. If Hy is running under Python 2, attempting to use `&kwonly`
args will raise a HyTypeError.
This effort is with the aim of resolving #453.
Expressions can sometimes contain itertools.islice objects, which we can
only walk if we force them into a list. To do this, the walk function
has to be taught that collections that are not instances of list should
be forced into a list.

Python 3.5's PEP 448 ("Additional Unpacking Generalizations") allows the
iterable- and dictionary- unpacking operators to be used more than once;
the implementation (see https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/a65f685ba8c0)
gets rid of the optional `starargs` and `kwargs` arguments to `ast.Call`
and `ast.ClassDef`, instead using `ast.Starred` and `ast.keyword`
objects inside of the normal `args` and `keywords` lists,
respectively. This commit allows Hy's `apply` to work correctly with
this revised AST when running under Python 3.5.
As reported in issue #748, there was a bug in which passing a lambda
as the value of a :keyword argument would fail—
$ hy --spy
hy 0.10.1 using CPython(default) 3.4.0 on Linux
=> (sorted (range 10) :key (fn [x] (- x)))
from hy.core.language import range
sorted(range(10), key=_hy_anon_fn_1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name '_hy_anon_fn_1' is not defined
The function call would appear in the generated AST without being
preceded by the appropriate function definition corresponding to the
anonymous function argument value in the Hy source, causing either a
NameError (as in the example above), or erroneous reuse of whatever
function was already pointed to by the `_hy_anon_fn_` name referenced
in the list of keywords passed to `ast.Call`.
This commit aims to fix the problem by handling it in same way that
the expression/statement gap is bridged many other places in the
compiler, by adding the compiled value of the keyword argument to the
Result object being built during `_compile_collect`, with the
understanding that any Python statements implied by the argument value
will be appropriately preserved therein.
Python 3.5 will have a new commercial-at infix operator with the magic
methods __matmul__, __rmatmul__, and __imatmul__, unused as yet in the
standard library, but intended to represent matrix multiplication in
numerical code; see PEP 465 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0465/)
for details. This commit (developed against Python 3.5 alpha 3) brings
support for this operator to Hy when running under Python 3.5 (or,
hypothetically as yet, greater). For Hy under Python <= 3.4, attempting
to use `@` in function-call position currently results in a NameError;
this commit does not change that behavior.
This is intended to resolve#668.
This code is heavily, *heavily* based off of Guillermo Vaya
(willyfrog)'s work... instead of defining its own keyword arg though, it
uses the "standard" :kwarg type, which is the main difference from
willyfrog's original branch.
Included tests and some documentation in the tutorial.
Also documented "apply" separately as an example of reproducing
*args and **kwargs.
When (fn) or (defn) does not get an arglist as first/second parameter,
emit a more descriptive error message, rather than an ugly traceback.
Fixes#716.

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)
A tribute to Portal 2, this function will return an infinite list of the
contents of the AUTHORS file on GitHub master (assuming requests is
installed). Except, the macro does this, the function never gets called,
it is purely there for tribute reasons.

Python has the keyword.iskeyword method we can leverage for Python
keywords, but we also need to address Hy builtins like 'get' or
'slice'.
And to make behavior compatible with Python 2 or 3, we also make
a special case to prevent assignment to False, True or None as
well as the Hy versions: false, true, null, and nil.
For non-Hy modules, we also check to make sure the symbol is not
part of the compiler. This allows shadow.hy to override "+" but
prevents general use from re-defn-ing 'get' or 'do'.
