One would expect the form:
> (defmacro a (&rest b) b)
> (a 1 2)
To return a tuple object but we have no Hy model so it returns a HyList.
Not sure if this is the right thing to do.
When (import) encounters anything but a HySymbol or HyList, raise an
exception, as that is not valid in Hy. Previously, anything other than a
HySymbol or HyList was simply ignored, turning that particular import
into a no-op, which was both wrong and confusing.

This function will recursively perform all possible macroexpansions in
the supplied form. Unfortunately, it also traverses into quasiquoted
parts, where it shouldn't, but it is a useful estimation of macro
expansion anyway.

The hy.contrib.walk module provides a few functions to walk the Hy AST,
and potentially transform it along the way. The main entry point
is (walk), which takes two functions and a form as arguments, and
applies the first (inner) function to each element of the form, building
up a data structure of the same type as the original. Then applies outer
(the second function) to the result.
Two convenience functions are provided: (postwalk) and (prewalk), which
do a depth-first, post/pre-order traversal of the form.

* hy/core/language.hy: Adding a simple `identity` function that returns
the argument supplied to it
* docs/language/core.rst: Updated docs with identity function
Sometimes it is better to start with the false condition, sometimes that
makes the code clearer. For that, the (if-not) macro, which simply
reverses the order of the condition blocks, can be of great use.

In the same vein as defmacro-alias, this implements defn-alias /
defun-alias, which does essentially the same thing as defmacro-alias,
but for functions.

With this patch, every identifier is split up along dots, each part gets
separately mangled, and then it is all joined back together. This allows
for fun stuff like (.foo? (Foo)), and even more contrived examples.

The hy2py tool has been very useful for me, but most of the time, it's
only a part of its output that one is interested in. The whole output,
with source code, AST and python code together is one big monstrosity.
So instead of printing all that, lets have a few handy command-line
options to control which part gets printed.
By default, only the generated python source is, as that's what the name
of the tool implies.
Also, don't run it. That's what hy is for.

There's no reason why one would need to choose between --spy and -i, so
pass down options.spy to run_icommand, and then to HyREPL, so we can
have both.

* hy/core/language.hy:
-Added a simple coll? function that checks whether the given argument
is an iterable and not a string,
- Also replaced the check in `flatten` by coll?
* tests/native_tests/core.hy: Tests updated for checking coll?
This cleans up a number of doc warnings, including a bad
underline for zero?
While there, added a nil? function to match up with the
new nil is None.
Also un-hid myself from coreteam.
This version is much simpler.
At the point that the exception is raised, we don't have access to
the actual source, just the current expression. but as the
exception percolates up, we can intercept it, add the source and
the re-raise it.
Then at the final point, in the cmdline handler, we can choose to
let the entire traceback print, or just the simpler, direct error
message.
And even with the full traceback, the last bit is nicely formatted
just like the shorter, simpler message.
The error message is colored if clint is installed, but to avoid
yet another dependency, you get monochrome without clint.
I'm sure there is a better way to do the markup, the current method
is kludgy but works.
I wish there was more shared code between HyTypeError and LexException
but they are kind of different in some fundamental ways.
This doesn't work (yet) with runtime errors generated from Python,
like NameError, but I have a method that can catch NameError and turn it
into a more pleasing output.
Finally, there is no obvious way to raise HyTypeError from pure Hy code,
so methods in core/language.hy throw ugly TypeError/ValueError.
