Strip the \ufdd0 prefix from the keyword argument before turning it into
a string: the same representation the user entered looks better, and is
printable too, thus Python2 doesn't choke on it.

Some valid-looking list comprehensions, such as (genexpr x []) can crash
Python 2.7. The AST we generate from these cannot be expressed in
Python, but were valid in Hy.
Added two guards to guard against this, so we raise an error instead of
crashing Python.
Closes#572, #591 and #634.

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.

When trying to setv a callable, raise an error instead of showing the
user an incredibly ugly backtrace. Closes#532.

Closes#869. Compared to the original pull request, an issue with a
corner case was fixed, and the branch rebased on top of current master.

In case for doesn't get a body, raise the appropriate, descriptive error
instead of an IndexOutOfBounds one. Also updated the failing test case.

Closes#880. The changes compared to the pull request are:
- defn-alias and defmacro-alias are moved to contrib instead of being
fully removed.
- Minor documentation fixes, that were left in after the redundant
symbol removals.

Fixed up the documentation language here and there, related to the alias
removals in previous commits.

Since slice was renamed to cut, update some newly introduced functions
and macros that were using slice, to use cut instead.

defclass now has a new syntax:
(defclass Name [BaseList]
[property value
property value] ;; optional
(defn method [self]
self.property))
Anything after the optional property list (which will be translated to a
setv within the class context) will be added to the class body. This
allows one to have side effects and complex expressions within the class
definition.
As a side effect, defining methods is much more friendly now!
Closes#850.

This allows us to react to things like "(foo))" being passed in instead of
looping until kingdom come. Also makes tokenizing things that are not
expressions easier:
=> (read)
"foo"
u'foo'

The `with-decorator` special form is not the most ergonomic—this commit
introduces a new builtin `#@` reader macro that expands to an invocation
of `with-decorator`. To support this, `reader_macroexpand` is made to
also look in the default `None` namespace, in imitation of how
regular (non-reader) macros defined in hy.core are looked up. The
docstring of `hy.macros.reader` is also edited slightly for accuracy.
This in the matter of issue #856.
