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.
apply now mangles strings and keywords according to the Hy mangling
rules (by using the same function, now imported from
hy.lex.parser). With this change, if the dict passed to apply has
keywords, strings or quoted symbols, they'll get mangled, to turn them
into proper keys.
This only works for the cases where the keys are directly in the apply
params. A previously deffed dict, or key through a variable will not be
mangled.
This closes#219.

Postfixing functions with a bang, like set!, get!, etc are relatively
common. However, those names are not valid in python, so in the name of
python interoperability, lets mangle them to set_bang and get_bang,
respectively.
Closes#536.

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.

As a refactoring step, move the identifier mangling done in t_identifier
into a separate def.

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.
Added first iteration of reader macros
Refactored defmacro and defreader
Added test inn hy/tests/lex/test_lex.py
Added new test in hy/tests/native/tests
Added new test in hy/tests/macros.
changed the error given in the dispatch macro and added some handling for missing symbol and invalid characters
The fancypants Hy award goes to Nick for coming up with the quoted
symbol hack for exports. This broke with foo?, since the export string
needs to be is_foo, but using a quoted string will pick up the change
due to it being a Symbol.
Mad clown love for that, @olasd.
This implements keywords, ":" prefixed symbols that are able to look
themselves up in a collection. They're internally stored as strings that
start with "\ufdd0".
This fixes#22.
