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.
Give `require` the same features as `import`
You can now do (require foo), (require [foo [a b c]]), (require [foo [*]]), and (require [foo :as bar]). The first and last forms get you macros named foo.a, foo.b, etc. or bar.a, bar.b, etc., respectively. The second form only gets the macros in the list.
Implements #1118 and perhaps partly addresses #277.
N.B. The new meaning of (require foo) will cause all existing code that uses macros to break. Simply replace these forms with (require [foo [*]]) to get your code working again.
There's a bit of a hack involved in the forms (require foo) or (require [foo :as bar]). When you call (foo.a ...) or (bar.a ...), Hy doesn't actually look inside modules. Instead, these (require ...) forms give the macros names that have periods in them, which happens to work fine with the way Hy finds and interprets macro calls.
* Make `require` syntax stricter and add tests
* Update documentation for `require`
* Documentation wording improvements
* Allow :as in `require` name lists
* clarify documentation of import
Add a comment showing the equivalent python of the long example, and demonstrate how to get `from` and `as` on the same line.
* add python example comment in last import example
From the announcement <http://blog.readthedocs.com/securing-subdomains/>:
> Starting today, Read the Docs will start hosting projects from
> subdomains on the domain readthedocs.io, instead of on readthedocs.org.
[...]
> Projects will automatically be redirected, and this redirect will

- (Seemingly) accidental placement of a character meant that the backticks weren't picked up and displayed nicely.
- Everywhere you refer to 'Hy', it has a capital 'h'. Here it did not.
Fixed up minor grammar issue in one sentence
Fixed minor inconsistency with Python and Hy code
- Added variable assignment before code example
The `if` form now supports elif clauses.
It works like `cond` but without the implicit `do`.
The old `if` is now `if*`
variadic lif now supports "ellif" clauses.
Update if-no-waste compiler to use `if*` properly.
(Sometimes one character is all it takes.)
document if
reword truthiness
As part of the Grand Language Cleanup, a few examples in the tutorial
could be simplified:
* The --init-- function of the defclass example does not need an
explicit None anymore.
* The apply example in the Hy<->Python interop section can use a
keyword instead of a string in the last part.
This perhaps closes#971.

Adds a short (require) example, along with a few words on why macros can't be imported.
Closes#966.
