As a result:
* functions such as `nth` should work correctly on iterators;
* `nth` will raise `IndexError` (in a fashion consistent with `get`)
when the index is out of bounds;
* `take`, etc. will raise `ValueError` instead of returning
an ambiguous value if the index is negative;
* `map`, `zip`, `range`, `input`, `filter` work the same way (Py3k one)
on both Python 2 and 3 (see #523 and #331).
The yield-from that existed previously wasn't actually implementing the
full complexity of "yield from":
http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0380/#formal-semantics
... this includes passing along errors, and many other things.
Also removes the yield-from backport macro, since it does not seem
possible at present to conditionally build macros.
Thus, there is no longer yield-from on pre-python-3.3 systems.
Includes updated docs and tests to reflect all this.
Example:
(defmain [&rest args]
(print "now we're having a fun time!")
(print args))
Which outputs:
$ hy test.hy
now we're having a fun time!
(['test.hy'],)
Includes documentation and tests.
supports Hy code.
All code-blocks in the documentation have been changed from
clojure to hy.
Also added docs/make.bat for Windows, so the top-level docs
target now works on Windows as well.
* 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
For the --spy commmand line option, it currently says '''Print equivalent Hy code...'''. Now, I haven't actually gotten around to installing Hy on my computer yet, so I haven't had a chance to test this out to make sure, but from the looks of the code example, it looks as though it is printing out the equivalent Python code of the executed Hy code, not the other way around. This would certainly make more sense. As such, I have changed the word 'Hy' to 'Python' so that the documentation more accurately reflects what (one assumes) is going on.
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.
